Werenoi Producer Babs Sacko Denies Violence at Trial as Prosecutor Seeks One-Year Sentence

Prosecutors asked for 12 months in semi‑liberty with a three‑year contact ban, with judgment scheduled for 19 February.

Overview

  • Tried in Bobigny, Babiry “Babs” Sacko faces charges of group assault and cyberharassment targeting Fatima B., described as a close friend of the late rapper.
  • The complainant says she was attacked on 22 May in a Montreuil hookah bar’s back room, received seven days of ITT, and accuses Sacko of slapping, strangling, kicking her, issuing death threats, and taking her passport.
  • Sacko denied any violence, said he stayed about 12 minutes at the bar to confront her over a disputed €1 million linked to a Dubai property, and acknowledged hostile online messages.
  • The prosecutor said it was indisputable that violence occurred despite no direct eyewitness and sought a 12‑month term to be served with semi‑liberty plus a three‑year no‑contact order.
  • The court set a 19 February 2026 verdict date, the defense pleaded for acquittal citing credibility concerns, and Sacko attended after extraction from a semi‑liberty center for a prior extortion conviction.
