But the army and many newspapers persuaded the government to keep him in prison because they had an unreasonable (უსაფუძვლო) dislike of him because he was Jewish. He was eventually let out of prison and officially judged to be not guilty. These events became known as the Dreyfus Affair and became a major political scandal exposing antisemitism* in France
