The second-line was sentenced to a total of one year in prison on Monday, with the revocation of part of the suspension of his previous sentence.
Tried for repeat offenses for domestic violence, Hans Nkinsi, second row of the Béziers Rugby team (Pro D2), was sentenced to a total of one year in prison on Monday, with the revocation of part of the reprieve from his previous conviction.
For this new case of domestic violence, the player was sentenced to 18 months in prison, twelve of which were suspended for two years, by the Béziers criminal court (Hérault).
But the former Grenoblois had already been sentenced in April 2023 by the Aix-en-Provence court, for similar facts, to a ten-month suspended sentence with a probationary suspension of five years. Part of this reprieve (six months) was revoked.
In total, Nkinsi was therefore sentenced to one year in prison and referred to the sentencing judge for adjustment.
The second AS Béziers player sentenced in a few days for domestic violence
The Béziers court went beyond the requisitions of the public prosecutor who had requested 14 months of detention, twelve of which were suspended, and four months of revocation of his previous sentence.
Nkinsi is the second AS Béziers player convicted in a few days for domestic violence, after New Zealand center Taleta Tupuola, who received a 14-month suspended prison sentence on November 13.
The day after Tupuola’s conviction, the club announced its intention to reinstate him in its squad, considering in a press release that “justice has been served”. The New Zealander has since played again, on December 6 in Brive and on December 13 for the Montauban reception.
Furthermore, the National Rugby League (LNR) opened an investigation at the end of October targeting the club’s Portuguese scrum-half, Samuel Marques, for his behavior towards a hostess at whom he allegedly threw a drink in the face, while he was drunk, during the Rugby Night ceremony on September 23.
AS Béziers, today in Pro D2 after having long dominated French rugby in the 1970s and 1980s, has just been bought by an Irish investment fund.
