Informed sources said that investigations into the Tariq Ramadan case have been completed. The case dates back to 2017, and relates to charges of “raping” 5 women.
The Swiss Muslim scholar will know in the coming weeks whether or not there will be a trial in the case of rape charges by several women who claimed to be victims of Tariq Ramadan’s “fist”.
The investigative judges announced the conclusion of investigations into these charges and rejected a request to cancel Mr. Ramadan’s indictment.
The July request was rejected “in view of the imminence of the notice of expiration of information and a comprehensive review of the evidence collected during all investigations,” according to a source close to the file, quoted by Agence France-Presse.
Tariq Ramadan is accused of raping five women and imprisoned for ten months in 2018. According to him, these were “dominant relationships” but they were “consensual.” At the beginning of the case, he denied having intimate relations with these women, before retracting his statements in the face of evidence of conversations on social networks and on phones.
Prosecutors believe they were actually seduced by Ramadan, and claim that these relationships developed in real life, particularly with meetings in hotels.
And while they were “raped”, according to their words, they continued talking with the accused and exchanging with him on social media. According to them, it was because of the “booking” he was going to have on them.
An experiment was conducted in this direction, and this version was confirmed. But the defendants’ lawyers provoked “rape” only because they would have faced “emotional or sexual disappointments”, and they also raised a “political plot” against Tariq Ramadan.
