New legal troubles for Wissam Ben Yedder. Surrounded by all kinds of procedures, including an investigation for “rape, attempted rape and sexual assault” since the summer of 2023, the French international striker spent last weekend in police custody, according to our information, following a complaint from a young woman, born in 2001, for “sexual assault”.
The events allegedly took place during the night from Friday to Saturday in the Alpes-Maritimes, which remained the player’s place of residence after the end of his contract with AS Monaco, and in his car, where he allegedly tried to abuse the complainant, whom he met in the evening. After various journeys and a refusal to comply, Ben Yedder ended up being arrested while driving by the gendarmes of Cap-d’Ail, at around 3 a.m., in a state of intoxication.
At the end of his long police custody, the former Monaco captain, free of any contract, was brought before the court on Sunday, early in the afternoon, and received a summons to appear immediately on October 15, for “sexual assault while clearly intoxicated, refusal to comply and driving under the influence of alcohol”, with a delay to allow time for the psychological assessment of the young woman.

According to our information, the prosecution had requested a provisional detention, in vain, and decided on Monday to appeal this decision. “Because provisional detention appears to be the only way to avoid any risk of pressure on the victim or witnesses, to prevent the repetition of the facts while he is under judicial supervision for rape and to guarantee his continued availability to justice in view of the real risks of flight,” Damien Martinelli, public prosecutor of Nice, tells us.
In the meantime, Ben Yedder is placed under strict judicial supervision, with a ban on leaving the Alpes-Maritimes, going out between 8pm and 6am, going to bars and nightclubs and coming into contact with the victim. He is also required to report twice a week and undergo medical treatment.
When contacted, her lawyer, Hasna Louzé, did not wish to comment.
