Almost a year after his arrest for «aggravated rape» and «voluntary violence», the case of Saad Lamjarred is making headlines again. This week, several national media wrote about the possibility that the Moroccan singer has been acquitted on all counts. Speaking to Atlas Info, Jean-Marc Fedida, the lawyer of Saad Lamjarred, said on Tuesday that «everything that has been said is false». «Everything that has been said and written about the case is false,» he told the online newspaper based in France, adding that «the case has not been yet adjudicated and that the date of the trial hasn't been revealed yet». «How do you expect justice to be pronounced when the judicial inquiry is not over and the investigating judge has not ordered yet the case to be referred to a court ?» Atlas Info recalls that the singer was provisionally released last April and left Fleury-Mérogis detention center with an electronic bracelet pending his trial. He was examined on October 28, 2016 in Paris, a few hours after a young woman of 20 years had accused him of having assaulted her in a room at the Paris Marriott, a Parisian hotel located next to the Champs Elysées. Atlas Info also recalls that in February 2017, «the singer was again heard by a Parisian investigating judge in a new case of alleged rape» of a young 28-year-old French-Moroccan. The latter accused him of «having abused her in the spring of 2015 while she was on holiday in Casablanca».
