(i24) Swiss academic Tariq Ramadan was summoned for questioning by a Geneva prosecutor after a new accusation of sexual assault surfaced from a complaint filed in 2018.
The new complaint accuses the professor of Islamic studies of “rape” and “sexual coercion” and dates back to 2008, according to French media sources.
Already facing multiple indictments on rape and sexual assault from four separate cases, the Geneva prosecutor was forced to question Ramadan at a Paris court on Thursday because he is not allowed to leave French territory.
The new hearing, which lasted three hours and ended at midday, did not ultimately lead to an indictment.
