Baku – APA. His lawyer and longtime friend Dominique Tricaud said Sinet, better known by the nickname "Sine", died on Thursday after undergoing surgery in a Paris hospital. He had been fighting cancer for several years, Irish Independent reported.
Sinet was known for his anarchist and anti-clerical positions. He was fired by Charlie Hebdo in 2008 for a column targeting a son of then-president Nicolas Sarkozy that triggered accusations of anti-Semitism.
He challenged his dismissal and was granted damages for wrongful termination of contract.
Mr Tricaud said Sinet "was probably the freest soul I ever met".
Sinet expressed his deepest sympathy to Charlie Hebdo following last year's deadly attack on the magazine's Paris offices.
