Rapper Sadek, who had beaten blogger Bassem Braïki with accomplices in February, was released on Thursday from Saint-Quentin-Fallavier prison (Isère) and placed under judicial supervision. The end of his pre-trial detention is unrelated to the epidemic context, according to his lawyer Me Arié Alimi. In fact, Sadek had appealed from his remand placement since his incarceration in mid-February. The investigating chamber of the Lyon Court of Appeal then asked for a study on the feasibility of an electronic bracelet.

And on Wednesday, she decided to release him without a bracelet but by placing him under judicial supervision, considering that he had "become aware of the nature of the alleged acts", reports his lawyer. He will therefore have to go to the police station twice a month, it is forbidden to go to the Rhône, where Bassem Braïki resides, as well as to get in touch with him in any way.
Bassem Braïki was assaulted in mid-February in Vénissieux by Sadek and several accomplices - a scene filmed on the phone and posted online - who had inflicted on the blogger wounds on the face and on the skull which led to five days of temporary interruption of work (ITT). The rapper had also shared a photo of him on his bloodied hand on Twitter before posting a video on Instagram a little later, in which he explained that he had “yielded to violence, hatred like a fool” , while saying to himself ready to "pay" .
