Zahia Dehar Hot, Nude, Net Worth, Scandal, Boyfriend

The dashing beauty, Dehar, at the age of 17, was associated with the World Cup stars and gathered widespread media attention ever since. So today, we bring you close to Zahia Dehar’s personal life and all the details of her famous scandal.

According to allegations, the famous French footballers, Benzema and Ribery, paid her for sex in 2009. Since she was underage, the whole act was illegal. The French judiciary bodies suspected Dehar through her workplace bar and how workers there used to serve footballers.

Dehar met Real Madrid vice-captain for the first time in May 2008 on the Trophees UNFP du football ceremony. Likewise, she met former Bayern Munich star, Franck Ribery, in a hotel in Munich as a birthday present.

Following World Cup 2010, French law indicted both Benzema and Ribery for solicitation of minor prostitution with three years in prison and $49,886.

Dehar, contrary to the rumors, she told that she only escorted the footballers, but did not involve in any prostitution behavior.

In 2009, Dehar, who was then under 18, was allegedly paid for sex by Franck Ribéry and Karim Benzema, who were players on the French national football team. The age of consent in France is 15, but prostitution was legal at the time only if the worker was over the age of 18.

The case started to come to light during an investigation by the Brigade de répression du proxénétisme into the activities of Abousofiane Moustaid, also known as “Abou Sofiane”, a former contestant on Nouvelle Star who became the host of a celebrity show on the TNT channel. The authorities were particularly interested in the Zaman Café, a Parisian bar, part of whose turnover came from prostitution. After the administrative closure of the establishment, the police officers questioned the prostitutes who worked there.

They discovered that one of them, Zahia Dehar, started to work there while she was still a minor, and had also served several footballers. The young woman claimed to have met Karim Benzema in May 2008 on the sidelines of the Trophées UNFP du football ceremony, and to have met Franck Ribéry on 7 April 2009, in a hotel in Munich where she and another escort had been sent to join the footballer, as a “birthday present” for the latter. Zahia Dehar was interviewed three times in April 2010.

The investigation became public in 2010, just before the French team participated in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The then-current French national team manager Raymond Domenech cited Benzema’s struggle for form with his new club Real Madrid rather than his alleged involvement in the sex scandal as his reason for excluding the striker from the squad.

In July 2010, Franck Ribéry and Karim Benzema were indicted for “solicitation of minor prostitute”, an offence punishable in France by up to three years in prison and a €45,000 fine. Another member of the team, Sidney Govou, was also interviewed; however, he avoided prosecution as the investigation revealed that his meeting with Zahia took place after she had reached the age of majority.

The mediatization of Zahia Dehar started from this case. Very quickly, her face was revealed by the media, and many photos of her circulated on the web, making the young woman a real “Internet phenomenon”. Le Monde initially revealed her name, simply calling her “Zahia D.” In May 2010, she gave an interview to Paris Match, which revealed her full name. She gave her version of the case and declared, among other things, “I consider myself an escort, but not a prostitute” (providing support services without having sex with the client), and denied having a pimp or belonging to a network.

The case continued until the mid 2010s. In late 2011, the Paris prosecutor asked for a dismissal for Ribéry and Benzema; but in August 2012, nine people were sent back by the investigating judge to the criminal court, including Benzema and Ribéry for “solicitation of minor prostitute”.

On 31 January 2014, Karim Benzema and Franck Ribéry were acquitted by the criminal court of Paris, the court saying they were unaware that Zahia was under age. Five other suspects, including Abu Sufyan, who acted as a “matchmaker” between the young woman and footballers, were convicted for procuring. Abu Sofiane appealed and published a book in which he claimed his innocence and accused Zahia Dehar of having taken advantage of his address book. In June 2015, the Court of Appeal confirmed his conviction and he received a heavier sentence.

Dehar’s involvement in the scandal and other acts, such as posting indiscreet photos on Twitter, have earned her the nickname la scandaleuse (“the scandalous one”) in the French press.
