Parisian Casanova’s Dark Web of Deception Unravels

"He’s not Brad Pitt, but he has real charisma. He takes care of himself and he’s quite a looker," confides Iris, 40, to Le Parisien. The 40-year-old describes a smooth talker with an advantageous physique, scarred, with "doe eyes" and "beautiful lips." She, as well as the five others, fell under the charm of the "Prince Charming" they had "always been waiting for." But they were disillusioned. According to a friend of Iris, Morad maintained up to four relationships at the same time. "He collected us, used us, stole from us, and broke us," denounces Brune, 40.

Among these six women, four have filed complaints against Morad for theft and fraud, extreme physical violence with strangulation, punches and bites, death threats, harassment, and property damage. The man is known to the justice system, having been sentenced in May 2022 in Nanterre to four months of probationary imprisonment. Iris’s complaint, filed in June 2024 in Biarritz where she lives, was transferred to the police station in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, where Morad is said to be domiciled. Brune, for her part, summoned him before the Bobigny court after her complaint was lost during a transfer. The case will be heard in January 2026. Her lawyer is asking the justice system to measure "the dangerousness" of this man with an already heavy criminal record. He has a total of 9 convictions. "Beyond three victims, with a similar modus operandi, there is a pattern," explains Me Vanessa Zencker, a specialist in domestic violence.

The six women recount the same story, namely that they were seduced by Morad, who showered them with compliments and gifts. "You are a princess. He covers you with gifts, responds to your requests, even anticipates them. He’s a snake, you’re hypnotized," explains Claudia, a 40-year-old commercial engineer. Morad quickly moves in with her, but is often absent. Absences always justified by family reasons. "On his computer, I saw a photo of a woman on a beach, with the caption: In memory of our vacation in Sicily. He was supposed to be in Morocco, at his father’s," recounts a dejected Brune. The young man arranges things so that each woman only has access to a portion of his posts. "A week after spending Christmas with my family, he left for Japan with another. Everyone saw his Japanese stories, except me," indignantly says Brune, a retouching photographer in haute couture. The charmer is said to have even attended an electronic music festival accompanied by two women. "He went from you to me from stage to stage," one of them confided to Brune.

According to the victims, Morad lived at their expense. "From the first date, he pulled the trick of the blocked credit card," recalls Kiko, a Japanese saleswoman. At first, the sums would be modest. "Plane tickets, hammam, food... I paid for everything," confesses Iris. Then the amounts escalate. He would steal bank cards, checks, divert online accounts. Iris even closed her mother’s life insurance, thinking she was investing in the "luxury kebab" that Morad was setting up: 25,000 euros transferred directly to his account. Since then, the business has gone bankrupt. Iris has only kept an acknowledgment of debt, never repaid to this day. Morad then disappeared. "I fucked you, you were a pawn," he would admit to another woman during a call she recorded. A family court judge in Bayonne ordered him to repay 11,500 euros to Brune. But Morad "is untraceable. We don’t know where he lives. He wants to escape his responsibilities," says Me Vanessa Zencker. "A sense of total impunity," denounces Fadila, who would have lost more than 4,300 euros in three months of relationship.

The man begins to assault them from the beginning of the relationship. "The first slap? I had acquiesced when a model agent friend of Morad’s said he could be a model himself," recounts Brune. She has a bad memory of a trip to Mexico. "He strangled me several times, beat me up in front of his friend, tore out my hair. I fled the hotel room in my bra." Morad would be a very jealous man who cannot stand it when his partners do not immediately answer his calls. "He demanded a video call to prove who I was with," explains Brune, who shows 40 missed call notifications from Morad in an hour. He would bombard them with insults and death threats: "I’m going to kill you, you dirty whore [...] you won’t have a face anymore," "I’m going to destroy you, I’m vicious." Claudia even received insults through bank micro-transfers, the insults slipped into the transfer memo, after she had blocked him. A psychologist from the medico-legal units assessed her trauma at 15 days of ITT.

Three victims would have seen their apartment ransacked. Brune discovered the message "I’m going to fuck you," engraved on her front door. Johanne’s television would have been thrown from the 5th floor. "He could have killed someone," she admits. Years after the end of their relationship, these women remain terrorized. A psychiatrist diagnosed Brune with "severe post-traumatic stress disorder." The six ex-partners of Morad hope that justice will hear them. They are also launching a call for witnesses to identify other potential victims.
