The rapper Mister You, at the heart of a huge bad buzz two years ago, was imprisoned in the prison of Health in Paris, in the district of vulnerable people, where are imprisoned in particular the personalities, reports The Parisian. An imprisonment which follows his arrest at Orly airport on Wednesday July 20, 2022, when he was about to fly to Morocco to spend a vacation with his 6-year-old son. Airport officials realized when the 38-year-old rapper presented his identity papers that he was the subject of a wanted card.
What is he accused of? As reminded The Parisian, the artist from Belleville (district of Paris, editor’s note) was sentenced in March 2021 by the Paris Court of Appeal to 24 months in prison which could be converted for having promoted in February 2019 on social networks one of the biggest deal points in Île-de-France in Villejuif in Val-de-Marne. A manageable sentence, but “However, this is not automatic, it is up to the sentencing judge to decide“explains the newspaper.
“A shame on a human level”
When the appeal in cassation was rejected, the prosecution sent a letter to the rapper to discuss this development. But “lack of response“, the sentence was carried out and Mister You was therefore placed in detention. But according to his lawyer, he never received this alleged letter. Hence his intention to go on vacation.”The execution of this sentence without prior summons is a procedural madness” got annoyed Robin Binsard, his lawyer. “It is a shame on a human level in a context where my principal saw the birth of his twins three weeks ago. We will use all legal means to allow his release as soon as possible.” he added.
It should be noted that a request for an adjustment of sentence was filed in the wake of this arrest. A hearing is already scheduled for September 21. As a reminder, Mister You has already narrowly escaped prison, when a six-month prison sentence was pronounced in the first instance against him after he tried to buy his driving license. He was eventually forced to pay a fine of 10,000 euros.
