Paul Bussetti from Croydon pleads guilty in retrial after not guilty verdict quashed by high court

A man has been sentenced to 10 weeks, suspended for two years, after admitting sending a “grossly offensive” viral video of a cardboard model of Grenfell Tower being burned on a bonfire.

Bussetti filmed the footage, which was taken at an annual bonfire party hosted by a friend in November 2018, and was shared in WhatsApp groups. The court heard there were direct and indirect references to the residents of Grenfell Tower in the footage. They included comments of: “Who’s jumping?”; “Don’t worry, stay in your flats”; and “Jump out of the window”.

The court heard Bussetti handed himself in to police when the footage went viral. Bussetti sent the video to two WhatsApp groups – one football-related, and one for a holiday group.
