Rapper Moka La Squale will be tried for physical but not sexual violence against ex-partners. The 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Mohamed Bellahmed, must appear according to the referral order signed by a Parisian investigating judge on March 14.

He defended himself against these accusations on the “This plot was perpetrated to harm me,” he argued in April 2021. The hearing of the case before the criminal court is, however, not final: appeals have been made by several lawyers for the former partners.
