Moha La Squale sentenced to two years for assault on two women in Paris

Paris criminal court sentenced rapper Moha La Squale, real name Mohamed Bellahmed, to two years’ imprisonment, with one year suspended, for assaulting two women during a party at his Paris home in May. Prosecutors had requested a 30‑month term. The rapper, 31, denied striking anyone, claiming he “did not lay a single blow.” Victims Myriam, who showed bruises, later said she had hit her own head, while Claire, who filed a civil claim, said she was slapped. Neighbours called police after hearing cries and noises. The trial began at 22:30 on Friday and concluded three hours later. Bellahmed had previously been convicted in 2024 to a four‑year sentence, with one year suspended, for domestic‑partner violence. He is known for his 2018 gold‑disc album *Bendero* and for his popularity among French youth.
