Five thousand euros fine for her, 2000 euros for him: the requisitions at the trial of the Franco-Malian star singer Aya Nakamura and her ex-husband the producer Vladimir Boudnikoff were inversely proportional to the media effervescence around their trial for reciprocal violence on a spouse, Thursday in Bobigny.
"This is a sadly banal case, a dispute that has degenerated
," said the prosecutor in her indictment inside a packed room.
The decision will be made on February 23.
Arrived together and standing side by side at the bar of the criminal court, the two defendants acknowledged the slippage that occurred on the night of August 6 to 7 in Rosny-sous-Bois, near Paris, where the couple resided with their daughter from six months.
The crisis broke out against the backdrop of jealousy and a wedding, to which the singer was not invited, unlike her spouse.
There followed a dispute in several acts, partly on the public highway and in the pavilion where the violence took place, traced the president of the court.
Each was sentenced to three days of temporary incapacity for work for bruises and pain.
Now they are separated
“Very very upset” during this stormy episode, the singer notably said that she wanted to recover personal effects and leave with their daughter, to confirm the breakup.
As the altercation continued in the basement music studio, the producer was slapped and then fell to the ground.
"He started getting more and more angry, hugging me, he was trying to calm me down in his own way
," said Aya Danioko (the singer's real name).
Mr. Boudnikoff accredited this version, acknowledging that he had also lacked calm during that evening.
Now separated, "we try to get along well" in the interest of the child, said the singer.
