Tariq Ramadan’s Appeals Rejected… Latest Developments in the Case of the Grandson of the Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood


Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the founder of the terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Al-Banna, is facing trial in Paris on charges of raping three women.

Yesterday, the Court of Cassation, the highest court of appeal for criminal and civil cases in France, rejected Ramadan‘s objection to his trial, making his referral to court final, according to sources obtained by AFP.

As a result, Ramadan will appear before the criminal court in Paris to continue a case that began at the end of 2017.

The crimes of Tariq Ramadan occurred between 2009 and 2016, and he has already spent 10 months in custody. Although he denied the allegations, he later admitted to having been in contact with the women accusers.

So far, the investigation has focused on his influence, with violence remaining the main means attributed to the rapes committed by Ramadan.

French authorities had already fined Ramadan for revealing the identity of one of the plaintiffs. In Switzerland, he was convicted of rape and sexual assault in a separate case at the end of August, though the ruling is not yet final.

Tariq Ramadan has long been a controversial figure. He has also been criticized for defending what is known as the Islamist movement in Europe and has authored numerous books, in addition to teaching “Islamic thought” at Oxford University.
