This player from the French football team, often selected, has a series of setbacks with the law.
Athletes are often associated with extra-sporting affairs. The latter, brought into the light almost on a daily basis, must constantly set an example and avoid setbacks in order to concentrate on their career and, above all, not to lose everything overnight.
In France, many are affected by cases and this is particularly the case of French striker and former captain of AS Monaco, Wissam Ben Yedder. The player, selected 19 times for the France team since 2018, has not worn the Blues jersey since 2022.
It must be said that for several months, the former Monaco and Toulouse player has had one setback, even though he has now been without a club since his contract expired. Accused, he was indicted for rape in the summer of 2023 and must be tried on October 15 for sexual assault while drunk, refusal to comply and driving under the influence of an alcoholic state.
Unfortunately for the Frenchman, it does not stop there, because Wissam Ben Yedder is now referred to the Nice criminal court for psychological violence against his wife, according to judicial sources and in particular according to the newspaper L’Equipe.
“The Ben Yedder couple have been separated since May 2023. Divorce proceedings have been initiated and are still ongoing. It is in this conflictual context that the accusations of our client’s ex-wife were made”reacted the player’s lawyers, Hasna Louzé and Marie Roumiantseva, in a press release. A surprising decision according to the defense. Wissam Ben Yedder was “heard at length by the investigators” during police custody in May “and the case was finally closed without further action. We do not know the reason why the prosecution decided to reverse its decision even though no new facts had arisen in this case”they added.
A turnaround in the situation explained by the Nice Prosecutor. “If the first orientation, on the basis of the telephone report of the investigators, was in fact more in the direction of a classification, the analysis of the entire file leads to consider that the facts are characterized and justify a prosecution. The couple is summoned to court on December 27.
