Booba Placed Under Formal Investigation for Aggravated Harassment of Demdem Following Gims’ Complaint

A judge acted after his Paris custody in a probe stemming from a 2024 filing that accuses him of years of online attacks.

Overview

  • He was presented to an investigating judge on Thursday and, in the BRDP-led probe, was placed under formal investigation on Friday.
  • The case centers on alleged insults and publications targeting Gims and his former partner Demdem, with the song “Dolce Camara” cited as a peak of the harassment.
  • Gims and Demdem say the conduct spans roughly six years and was amplified by followers, causing reputational harm, lost income and disruption to their children’s daily lives.
  • Booba’s lawyers contend the disputed lyrics are protected artistic expression and caution against criminal liability for creative works.
  • He faces separate legal matters, including a 2023 formal investigation tied to influencer Magali Berdah and a December 3 trial for alleged racist insult and aggravated cyberharassment.
