French Rapper, Mae’s, Sentenced to 7 Years Imprisonment in Morocco

A Moroccan court has sentenced French rapper Maes, real name Walid Georgey, to seven years in prison for charges including forming a criminal gang and attempted kidnapping. Maes, once a top-streamed French rapper, was reportedly arrested in Morocco in January after fleeing the UAE and faced allegations of orchestrating a failed plot involving hitmen to harm a rival. He denied all charges, with his lawyers calling the case baseless and lacking evidence.
