After 1,268 days and 114 days of trial, the verdict was finally handed down in Berlin on Monday in the trial against Bushido’s ex-manager Arafat Abou-Chaker (47) and his brothers. The clan boss got away with a fine. He was acquitted of charges of extortion and assault.
Background: The German rapper (45) and the main defendant were business partners for many years. After the divorce, the situation reportedly escalated on January 18, 2018. The musician was held against his will.
According to the indictment, the Abou-Chakers demanded millions from Bushido and threw a chair and a water bottle at him. “He wanted us to continue. I would be his for the rest of my life,” Bushido said of Abou-Chaker during the trial.
But the verdict follows the defense: the clan boss was fined 81,000 euros for secret recordings of conversations. There were acquittals on all other counts and for the brothers. Arafat Abou-Chaker is entitled to compensation for the period from January 15 to January 31, 2019.
