the pillar of Montpellier and international tricolor Mohamed Haouas in police custody for domestic violence

A few months before the Rugby World Cup, Montpellier and international pillar Mohamed Haouas was placed in police custody on Friday May 26 for domestic violence, learned France Bleu Hérault, confirming information from The Team. The rugby player must be heard on Saturday morning, assisted by his lawyer.

The 29-year-old French international was arrested late Friday afternoon by the police. Father of two children, he is suspected of having assaulted his companion on the public highway, under the eyes of several witnesses. The police confirm to France Bleu Hérault that he was arrested a little later after the report of a passerby, who said he saw him force the young woman into a vehicle.

Sentenced in 2022 for burglaries

Mohamed Haouas was also tried 15 days ago before the Montpellier court for a case of violence in a meeting against a nightclub manager in 2014. He then declared that he wanted to “move on to something else”. He was also sentenced in February 2022 to an 18-month suspended prison sentence for burglaries, still in 2014.

On the sporting level, he was supposed to take part in the last Top 14 match of Montpellier Hérault rugby (MHR), this Sunday, in Pau, before flying to Clermont, whose colors he must wear from next season. .
