A new name appears today in the Zahia affair, a young minor escort by whom the scandal happened in 2010. Forgotten the Franck Ribéry and Karim Benzema, the stars of the football suspected of having had relationships with Zahia which they ignored the minority. Today, an ex-escort girl, delivers a new name, that of a Swiss businessman, the famous art dealer Yves Bouvier, who could have assumed the real role of the pimp in this affair.
This ex-call girl explains that she worked for Yves Bouvier until 2017. She gives information on the libertine evenings organized by this character at the end of the 2000s in her Parisian apartment or abroad where she would have met Zahia Dehar, in the summer of 2009.
She states that the girls were paid "2,000 euros per evening" in cash by Yves Bouvier. Beyond that, she especially attests that Zahia Dehar was supported by the Swiss businessman, of whom she was "the mistress".
The Zahia affair revived?
These revelations would give a new reading to this pimping case where the main defendant Abousofiane Moustaïd, was sentenced in June 2015, on appeal, to three years in prison, two of which were suspended.
Her lawyer, Me Yassine Bouzrou, wants to take up the new testimony of this ex-escort girl, addressed to the public prosecutor of Paris, to relaunch the Zahia case. According to Me Bouzrou, his client Abousofiane Moustaïd "has always disputed the accusations of procuring. His only fault was to introduce some of his friends to certain girls, including Zahia. What happened between them was their private life. ”
Me Yassine Bouzrou therefore filed a Saturday request for an act prior to a request for review of the case. The Paris public prosecutor's office must now rule on this request.
