The Paris Court of Appeal will rule on June 27 on the appeal of Islamologist Tariq Ramandan, against his referral to the departmental criminal court for the rape of four women. The attorney general requested that only one aggravated rape with violence be held against the Islamologist, committed in Lyon, in October 2009.
In Switzerland, the preacher obtained an acquittal in May 2023 in a case of rape and sexual coercion dating back to 2008. The appeal trial is due to be held at the end of May in Geneva.
