Benyedel decided to appeal against the two-year suspended prison sentence[weirushui]

Earlier, RMC reported that the Nice Criminal court convicted the 34-year-old former France international Benyedel of drunken sexual assault, and the player was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended. Recently L 'Equipe reported that they will appeal against the verdict.

L 'Equipe noted that Benyedel and his legal team, Hasna Louze and Marie Roumiantseva, intend to appeal the decision. At a hearing in mid-October, the France international admitted some of the offences, while contesting sexual offences he could not remember. He also opened up about his addiction to alcohol and apologized to his victims.

Ben-yedder is still actively training to maintain his fitness in order to find a club this winter. However, he will have to appear in court again on December 27 to deal with the case of himself and his wife. He was charged with psychological violence against his wife resulting in her total incapacity to work for more than eight days. They are currently divorcing.
