French professor fakes Nobel-style award ceremony

A French professor fabricated a Nobel Prize-style award and the organisation supposedly presenting it, successfully convincing politicians and Nobel laureates to attend a ceremony in French Parliament in 2016. The professor ordered a gold medal from a local jeweller and the deception only came to light when he was scheduled to chair a discussion on fake news. His university has suspended him and police are investigating potential legal violations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
