This Monday, Magali Berdah must appear before the Nice criminal court for bankruptcy and money laundering when she was an insurance broker, around ten years before she became the “popess of influencers”.
Magali Berdah faces justice again. The former influencer agent will be judged this Monday, September 30, for acts of bankruptcy and money laundering, which occurred when she was an insurance broker.
This figure from the world of social networks, already presented as a victim in several cyberharassment proceedings involving in particular the rapper Booba, is this time on the dock, alongside three former colleagues.
According to the Nice public prosecutor’s office, the procedure calls into question his management of the insurance brokerage company BA&CO, between January 30, 2014 and July 31, 2015, the day after the judicial liquidation of the latter, with liabilities estimated at nearly 2.5 million euros.
During an interview with local daily Nice Matin published Friday September 27, she assured that she was only a “simple employee” of the company and that she had gained nothing from the bankruptcy. Placed in police custody a year ago in this case, the mother has since been under judicial supervision, with a ban on managing a business and an obligation to report.
Magali Berdah assured to be calm “on the legal level” before the trial this Monday, but not for her safety. “People are calling me on social networks to tell me that they will be in Nice that day, that they will be waiting for me in court.”
Yet another trial
It was after this first business that Magali Berdah created the Shauna Events agency in 2017, specializing in connecting social media personalities and brands, which earned her the nickname “the popess of influencers”.
She was quickly targeted by rapper Booba in his crusade against “influvoleurs”. The artist had accused her of deceptive commercial practices, an accusation to which she responded by filing a complaint.
The investigation launched against her was dismissed last March. Booba was indicted for aggravated online moral harassment.
In addition, 28 Internet users were also sentenced in March, following a trial which revealed the virulence of the tens of thousands of messages she received: “Dirty female dog”, “scammer”, “we will come t ‘cut your throat at home’, ‘you deserve to be decapitated and stoned’ or even ‘let your daughter die’.
