(Morocco World News) The controversy surrounding the case of Tariq Ramadan has reached new heights, as the rape allegations against the reformist scholar have been called into question following an investigation by the Parisian Criminal Brigade (BC).
Revealing inconsistencies in his accusers’ stories, the investigation has further complicated the already-divisive legal case by casting into doubt the truth behind the allegations against Ramadan.
Ramadan was arrested by French authorities in February of 2018 following a series of rape accusations against him by three separate women. He was released several months later in November after paying 300,000 euros ($340,000) in bail and surrendering his passport to French authorities.
Though the charges against Ramadan still persist, the academic continues to deny the allegations against him, condemning the accusations as [a] “campaign of lies launched by [his] adversaries.”
