Raï Singer Cheb Faudel Faces Child Support Case in Moroccan Court

Faudel’s Franco-Algerian ex-wife accuses him of failing to pay child support. Convicted by the French courts to pay arrears, this decision has not been executed in Morocco. She has therefore seized the Moroccan justice system, in Marrakech, where Faudel lives with his children and his new partner.

A preliminary investigation was opened by the public prosecutor, leaving Faudel on provisional release. At the same time, his ex-wife’s lawyer obtained a protective seizure on the singer’s villa.
