Badr Hari arrested in Amsterdam for suspected threats and insults

Moroccan kickboxing star Badr Hari was arrested in Amsterdam on Tuesday morning. The arrest occurred around 9:00 AM on Van Leienburghlaan in the Buitenveldert district.

While Amsterdam police initially confirmed the detention of a 41-year-old man without naming him, Hari’s lawyer, Sim Polat, confirmed to local media that his client is the individual in custody. The arrest is based on suspicions of involvement in threats and insults. The identity of the alleged victim has not been officially released.

This incident follows a previous legal matter involving Hari. In September 2025, he was ordered to perform 24 hours of community service and was prohibited from contacting or approaching his former partner for one year following allegations of violence. While there is speculation regarding whether this new incident involves the same individual, authorities have not confirmed a link to the previous case.
