Politicians on the left have criticised the collection, set up by a far-right activist, but GoFundMe has refused to take it down
A row has broken out over a collection for the family of the French police officer under investigation for shooting dead a 17-year-old that has topped more than €1m in donations.
A similar collection to help the family of the victim, Nahel Merzouk, killed a week ago in Nanterre outside Paris after being stopped by two motorcycle patrol officers, has collected less than €200,000.
