Poupette Kenza’s husband reportedly decided not to face justice with his wife. Allan made a tough decision.
New twist in the Poupette Kenza case. Since July 7, 2024, the famous 24-year-old influencer, mother and pregnant with her third child, has been incarcerated in France, accused of organized extortion and criminal conspiracy. While she awaits in prison the results of the investigation and a possible trial, a new element complicates her situation: her husband, Allan, refuses to surrender to the French authorities. Thus, he leaves his wife to face justice alone…
The arrest of Poupette Kenza and the charges against her
Poupette Kenza, real name Kenza Benchrif, is a widely followed influencer on social media, particularly on Snapchat, where she shares her daily life and life advice with her many followers. In July 2024, while returning to France after living in Dubai for a year, the young woman was arrested by the French police. The young pregnant woman is accused of orchestrating an extortion against her former friend and agent, Caroline, with the help of accomplices. According to available information, Caroline and her husband were threatened and forced to hand over a large sum of money to a henchman hired by Kenza.
Following her arrest, the judge of liberties ordered her to remain in pre-trial detention pending the results of the investigation. This decision means that Poupette Kenza could remain incarcerated until her trial, which also raises the question of whether she will give birth to her child in prison.
Poupette Kenza’s husband Allan remains in Dubai with their children
On July 16, 2024, new revelations were added to the case. According to journalist Clément Garin, Allan, Poupette Kenza’s husband, was also involved in the extortion case. Despite a summons from the French authorities, Allan refused to surrender, preferring to stay in Dubai with their two children, Seyana (4 years old) and Khalis (2 years old). This choice, perceived as abandonment by many observers, left his wife alone to face justice.
According to information from Clément Garin, Poupette Kenza implored her husband to come to France to “speed up her release procedure”, hoping that her presence could influence the investigating judge in favour of conditional release. But Allan remains deaf to her appeals. By refusing to surrender, Allan not only complicates his own legal situation, but also jeopardizes his wife’s chances of release.
Poupette Kenza alone facing an uncertain future
According to Clément Garin, Allan is being actively sought by French authorities to clarify his exact role in the affair. His decision to stay in Dubai seems partly motivated by the fear that their children would be placed in a home or entrusted to relatives if he too were to be arrested and provisionally detained in France. This fear seems to justify his refusal to surrender. Even if it means leaving Poupette Kenza to face the accusations alone.
For now, Poupette Kenza must deal with a very difficult situation. In addition to the accusations against her, the lack of direct support from her husband further complicates her legal battle. Incarcerated, pregnant, and faced with the uncertainty of her release, the influencer is facing a personal and family ordeal of unexpected magnitude. As the investigation continues, only time will tell if Allan will end up responding to the summonses of the French justice system. This would perhaps allow Poupette Kenza to regain her freedom more quickly.
