Overview

• A judicial inquiry has been opened after an ex-partner accused Nekfeu of rape, sexual assaults and habitual spousal violence.
• The artist was detained last week in Paris police custody in connection with the allegations and was released without immediate charges.
• Sources say the custody followed a new complaint filed by the same woman concerning the same alleged facts.
• Prosecutors had previously closed three complaints between September 2023 and May 2024 for insufficient characterization.
• The plaintiff’s lawyers say the move is consistent with the weight of evidence they submitted, while Nekfeu’s counsel calls the inquiry the proper forum to test both sides’ statements, documents and the authenticity of materials circulated in the media and online.
