Last July, Poupette Kenza, Kenza Benchrif by her real name, was arrested upon her arrival on French soil, placed in police custody, charged with “attempted extortion by an organized gang” and “criminal association” before finally being incarcerated. This Tuesday, September 24, it was in the columns of Le Parisien that we discovered the statement of the accused who continues to proclaim her innocence.
Last July, Poupette Kenza, Kenza Benchrif, her real name, was arrested upon her arrival on French territoryplaced in police custody, indicted for “attempted extortion by an organized gang” et “criminal association” before finally being incarcerated. “Poupette Kenza is accused of having tried to extort 350,000 euros from a former associate using a scheme as dark as it was incredible, between threats, recruitment of a henchman, photos of physical abuse and a gangster film script,” revealed our colleagues. Held in pre-trial detention despite a request for release, the mother of two children who is pregnant with her third child risks up to twenty years in prison.
Yesterday, Monday September 23, blogger Aqababe revealed a short video of Allan Liehrmann, the influencer’s husband, who had just been arrested upon his arrival in France. “According to my exclusive information, Allan Liehrmann, Kenza Benchrif’s husband was arrested as he exited the flight from Dubai that he had taken yesterday evening to apparently surrender. He was arrested as he got off the plane at 6:20 a.m. News that perhaps announces the early release of Poupette”he wrote on his Instagram story. Then, this Tuesday, September 24, our colleagues from Parisian have published heavy revelations on the progress of this rather incredible affair. In particular, we discover extracts from the testimony of the man who was charged with blackmailing the couple of former friends of Kenza so that they would return the potential 350,000 euros that they owed her.
“These messages are not me”

He’s the one with the app. In fact, how to say, I know very well that what happened there is, how to say, illegal. Deep down, my husband and I, we’re not criminals, we’re not bad people. We just wanted our money back,” she swore before the investigating judge. To be continued…
