The hearing will be held on February 24. The long-distance specialist, also European champion in the 10,000 meters in 2018, is the target of another preliminary investigation, the purpose of which the prosecution does not specify at this stage.
French marathon record holder Morhad Amdouni will be tried for domestic violence in three months in Seine-et-Marne. He is “under judicial supervision pending a hearing scheduled for February 24” for “acts of domestic violence committed between September 2023 and September 2024”, specifies the public prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier, at the Meaux judicial court, confirming information from the Parisian.
The European 10,000 meters champion was arrested at his home in Serris, in Seine-et-Marne, on September 18. According to the daily, the police were called for alleged violence against his partner. An argument would have broken out “after she learned of her husband's infidelity, and he tried to strangle her”, “in front of their son”, at their home, reports the Parisian.
The media also reports the opening of a second preliminary investigation targeting Morhad Amdouni, for attacks and rapes committed against his partner. Contacted by Liberationthe prosecution confirms that“another preliminary investigation concerning him is still in progress”, without further details.
On February 18, Morhad Amdouni broke the French marathon record in Seville, Spain, by completing the 42.195 kilometers in 2 h 03 min 47 s. The athlete, returning from an internship in Kenya, had shattered his own French record to finish second behind the Ethiopian Deresa Gelata and come very close to the European record in the discipline. Morhad Amdouni, however, ended up withdrawing from the men's marathon at the Paris Olympics “following an injury to the right calf that occurred” during training.”
