Tariq Ramadan is accused of raping a woman in 2008 in Geneva, which he denies. The complainant claims that the Islamologist subjected her to brutal sexual acts accompanied by beatings and insults on the night of October 28, 2008.
She filed a complaint ten years later, in 2018. The trial of the Swiss intellectual, a charismatic and contested figure in European Islam, is due to end on Wednesday. The judgement is expected on 24 May, with a sentence to be handed down on May 25.
