Ben Yedder Rape Referral Canceled in Appeal

Former France striker Wissam Ben Yedder's referral to a criminal court for rape has been canceled on appeal due to a lack of sufficient evidence.

The instruction chamber of the Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal annulled the order for prosecution against the footballer on February 26, ruling that there is no longer reason for further action against him.

This decision contradicts the requisitions made by the public prosecutor, confirming the information reported by L'Equipe.
