Rapper Koba LaD was sentenced this Wednesday to two years in prison, one of which was suspended, by the Paris Criminal Court for violence in a nightclub in November 2022.
The court ordered that the firm portion of this sentence be modified in the form of wearing an electronic bracelet. It also banned Koba LaD from carrying a weapon for five years and imposed a sentence of ineligibility for three years.
Involved in a fatal accident
The 24-year-old artist with over three million followers on Instagram was not present at the hearing. He has been in custody since his involvement in a fatal accident in Créteil in mid-September. Koba LaD was at the wheel and driving under the influence of drugs during this accident which killed one of his passengers. He was charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter and aggravated involuntary injury.
Already condemned
The rapper was already sentenced in 2020 to a three-month suspended prison sentence and 140 hours of community service for a car accident in Marseille. He fled after the incident, before reporting to the police three days later. He was also sentenced on that occasion to a four-month license suspension during an appearance on prior admission of guilt (a “guilty plea” procedure).
