I've been through a defamation incident too on the net and FB.
All I can say is the police won't really do anything. However you can do
something privately as Defamation is a civil case too. Go to a lawyer
and issue him a "mise en demeure". You can claim financial damages (if
this affects your business, which it does).
Bring mails, screenshots etc to your lawyer.
