Ben Yedder fined for psychological abuse against wife | OneFootball

The former French national team player Wissam Ben Yedder was sentenced this Wednesday in Nice for psychological violence against his wife, from whom he is divorcing. The court ordered him to pay a fine of 90,000 euros (about R$ 570,000), in addition to 60,000 euros (about R$ 380,000) in compensation and legal fees.

History of Convictions

This is Ben Yedder's second conviction in less than a year. In November 2024, he received a suspended sentence of two years for sexual assault. In 2023, he was convicted in Spain for tax fraud during his time at Sevilla (2016–2019), with a suspended sentence of six months.

Ongoing Investigations

Ben Yedder and his brother Sabri are also being investigated for the rape of two women that occurred in 2023. Both deny the accusations.

Current Sentence

The prosecution had requested a suspended sentence of eight months and a fine of 10,000 euros. However, the court opted for a significantly higher fine. The player did not attend the hearing and will appeal the decision, according to his lawyer Marie Roumiantseva.

Career and Current Situation

Ben Yedder, former captain of Monaco and the second-highest scorer in the club's history, has been without a club since a brief stint with Sepahan in Iran at the beginning of 2025.
