Last September, Kaaris quietly attended the premiere of the film Athena, organized at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. But here he is, again, taken into custody. This Wednesday, November 9, 2022, the rapper was actually taken care of by the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois police station following a complaint, for violence, filed by his former companion Linda P – according to exclusive information from the newspaper The Parisian.
Their divorce did not go as planned. This is the second time that Kaaris finds himself placed in police custody, in this same police station, for this same story. He is currently heard about the violent altercation he allegedly experienced with Linda P. who is, this time, also in police custody for home invasion and degradation.
Kaaris and Linda P. both emerged free from police custody, without judicial review. The rapper will have to answer before the criminal court on November 10, 2023 for acts of domestic violence on his ex-girlfriend, AFP reported a little later in the day. Linda P. was summoned the same day before the criminal court for home invasion and minor damage, according to the Evry prosecution. Kaaris will appear for violence against a spouse with an ITT of more than eight days as a legal recidivism, the public prosecutor said.
“The Evry prosecution decided to send Kaaris and his accuser to the criminal court, rather than making a decision“, say the advice of rapper Yassine Maharsi and Yassine Yakouti. “We see there, more than a choice, a lack of courage because all the elements of the file demonstrate the innocence of our client, who remains serene. The court can only pronounce an acquittal“, still judge the two councils.
This decision was “predictable“for the lawyers of the ex-companion, Adrien Gabeaud and Sema Akman, both for their client”who admitted the facts“only for Kaaris who,”despite his blunt denials“, is summoned, which “corroborates the complaint filed by our client and the work of the investigators“.
Recall of facts
The facts date back to January 2022. Kaaris, whose real name is Okou Gnakour, had been accused of violence by his former wife, and mother of his child, Linda P. The latter assured that the rapper, with whom she was in couple for fourteen years, pushed her around, locked her in her garage and then beat her with his fists and feet. He then allegedly pushed her towards the exit, throwing her fingernails which he pulled out while beating her. An official medical certificate mentioned this unnailed hand as well as several bruises, including one on the right foot.
Linda P. had to move, thereafter, on crutches for two weeks. “This will be an opportunity to confirm the odious and cowardly violence of Kaaris on his ex-companionexplained at the time Me Adrien Gabeaud, the defense lawyer. Despite all the attempts against my client, she is very determined to assert her rightsThe Evry-Courcouronnes prosecutor’s office had opened a preliminary investigation and Kaaris had, for its part, filed a complaint for “slanderous denunciation“. Back, for now, to square one.
Okou Gnakouri remains presumed innocent of the charges against him until the final judgment.
