In September 2012, the French edition of "Closer" and the Italian gossip magazine "Chi", published photographs of the Duchess sun-bathing topless while on holiday at the Château d'Autet (a private château on a 260-ha estate 71 km north of Aix-en-Provence). Analysts from "The Times" believed the photographs were taken from the D22 (Vaucluse) road half a kilometre from the pool—a distance that would require an 800-mm or a 1000-mm lens. On 17 September 2012, the Duke and Duchess filed a criminal complaint with the French prosecution department and launched a claim for civil damages at the "Tribunal de Grande Instance de Nanterre". The following day the courts granted an injunction against "Closer", prohibiting further publication of the photographs and announced a criminal investigation would be initiated. Under French law, punitive damages cannot be awarded but intrusions of privacy are a criminal offence carrying a maximum jail sentence of one year and a fine of up to €45,000 for individuals and €225,000 for companies. In September 2017, "Closer" was fined €100,000 and its editor Laurence Pieau and owner Ernesto Mauri were each fined €45,000.
