A preliminary investigation targeting rapper Kaaris was opened on Friday, after a complaint for aggravated willful violence filed by his ex-girlfriend, said the Evry prosecution.
The rapper’s lawyers, Mes Yassine Maharsi and Yassine Yakouti, assured that their client was “appeased and serene” in the face of “imaginary and opportunistic accusations which could be swept away by a reverse investigation”. “It’s the story of a jealous woman who needs to exist,” they tackled.
The prosecution insisted that it had not yet “qualified the facts”, recalling that it is up to the investigation to “verify the elements that exist and to follow up on them or not”.
Kicks and punches
Linda P., who has a child with Kaaris, denounces facts dating from January 19, 2021. In her complaint filed on July 7 and consulted by AFP, she reports a sudden and unexplained “evasive behavior” of the part of Kaaris, causing a “deep trauma” in their child.
Faced with this unexplained absence, she would have tried “to reconnect” with Kaaris, said one of her advisers Me Adrien Gabeaud, and would have discovered that the rapper had acquired “a new residence” in Linas (Essonne) south of Paris . She goes there on January 19, 2021 and “finds in bed” Kaaris, with another woman, continues her advice, who defends her alongside Me Sema Akman.
There, Kaaris is accused of having assaulted Linda P. in the garage of her house, kicking and punching her while tearing out her nails, denounces the complaint, which specifies that Linda P. needed “crutches and a support boot for two weeks”.
Already under pressure
The complaint also targets the woman with whom Kaaris was on the day of the alleged assault, Marion P., for failure to assist a person in danger. Linda P. filed a handrail on February 17, 2021, “hesitating to file a complaint because of a certain amount of pressure from Kaaris and his entourage”, assures Me Gabeaud.
On July 7, 2022, she finally filed a complaint, believing that “enough is too much”, said her lawyer.
The rapper from Sevran (Seine-Saint-Denis), currently 40 years old and who has known success with the release of his album Or Noir in 2013, was sentenced in October 2018 to an 18-month suspended prison sentence for a fight that pitted him against his rival Booba at Orly airport.
