His lawyers “welcome this decision”. The rapper Kaaris was acquitted this Friday by the Evry criminal court of the acts of domestic violence of which his ex-partner accused him, thus following the requisitions of the prosecution. “The cause of violence against women is far too noble to be exploited in this way,” added Messrs Yassine Maharsi and Yassine Yakouti, counsel for Okou Gnakouri, his real name. Kaaris assured the single judge of the court that he had never been violent towards women, such behavior being contrary to his values as a father.
The 43-year-old rapper was appearing for violence against a spouse with total incapacity for work (ITT) of more than eight days, as a legal repeat offender. His ex-partner and mother of his daughter, Linda P., accused him of having assaulted her on January 19, 2021 in the garage of the artist’s home in Linas (Essonne), by kicking and beating her. fist and tearing out his nails. In her complaint, she claimed to have needed “crutches and a support boot for two weeks”.
His ex-partner sentenced
Kaaris disputed these accusations and claimed that his ex-partner had entered his home illegally by climbing a wall. The rapper, however, decided not to become a civil party on this aspect of the case that the prosecution wished to pursue.
On the other hand, the court sentenced Linda P., absent at the hearing, to 2 months of suspended imprisonment for minor damage to the vehicle of Kaaris’ current spouse, Marion P. The latter also requested a symbolic euro of damages and interests.
