Ben Yedder Court Appeal Canceled: No Charges

Former France striker Wissam Ben Yedder will not face a criminal trial for rape after an appeals court canceled his referral on Thursday.

The appeals court in Aix-en-Provence ruled that there were insufficient charges against the player for the alleged rape and attempted rape.

Consequently, the chamber decided not to pursue the case, contrary to the initial prosecutor's request, effectively clearing Ben Yedder of facing a criminal trial.
