MiddleEasy.com | Badr Hari again suspected of assault, denies claims

Quote:

Badr Hari's name just always seems to end up in some sort of controversy. Recently it was because of his relationship with Estelle Cruyff, the now former wife of Ruud Gullit. Now, much like a prior suspicion of assaulting a bouncer, Badr Hari's name is agian being brought up in connection to an assault.

Crimesite.nl is reporting that Badr Hari could've possibly been involved in the aggravated assault of someone at the Sensation White, an annual festival in Amsterdam. A 38 year old man was beaten badly in a VIP box where supposedly Badr Hari was present. It is confirmed that Badr Hari was at the VIP deck with Estelle Cruyff.

An eyewitness account told Crimesite.nl the following: (Google translated):

"Suddenly a lot of noise from the box where Badr was present, glass shattering, etc., the door opens, and a guy thrown out. His whole head inelkaar his nose, his eyes, there was a lot of blood but it is bizarre that his foot just hanging loose, the bone stuck out his foot and hung half-down back. That guy did not know what had happened and what stammered. Someone told me that two guests had entered the vipbox and this guy from nowhere, had done this and then were gone. Badr Hari stood sheepishly looking, with a hopeless look of 'what have I done now, at least as I interpreted it eh. With his jaw covered in blood with a towel wrapped aim. "

Badr Hari denied these claims shortly after, stating that he had nothing to do with what happened. He hasn't been approached by police yet, with a source saying that Badr is haunted and annoyed by these negative stories that aren't true.

A follow up on kickboxing star Badr Hari’s latest legal problems – namely, the accusations that he kicked the shit out of millionaire Koen Everink during the Sensation White rave at Amsterdam Arena earlier this month. Silly Badr. He has a really has a strange idea of what PLUR is all about. In addition to Everink’s claim that Hari was involved, there’s also this:

Quote:

We have witnesses claiming he did it and past victims speaking out against Hari. The latest twist is that Badr went from a person of interest to a lead suspect over this weekend. The key witness against Badr’s person is a club owner claiming to be missing teeth from the last run-in he had with Badr Hari last year.
Badr is still on vacation and is looking for a “peaceful” surrender when he is back in town to the police, as he has fears of SWAT teams breaking down his doors and coming after him and would like to avoid that.

I love that. Every time Badr is accused of doing something illegal, he goes on ‘vacation.’ Sometimes he comes back, sometimes he doesn’t, but every time he seems to get off the hook in the end and continues to walk free. Someone get the name of that man’s lawyer!

These aren’t insignificant assaults here either – no little beat em ups where pop-collared bros are pulled apart with noses bloodied and middle fingers flying. This latest victim, Koen Everink, had his nose shattered in several places, his cheekbones broken, and his ankle snapped. He may never be able to walk normally again. That club owner referenced above had half his teeth kicked out during his run in with Hari. I dunno about you, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that so many people who’ve had run ins with Hari seem to wind up with metal plates holding their faces together.

This guy is definitely Overeem's brother-from-another-mother. Badr should enjoy that vacation. Might be the last one he takes for the next 3 to 5.

Badr Hari arrested following assault charge

Badr Hari arrested following assault charge - Fighters Only

Quote:

Former K-1 heavyweight champion Badr Hari may be spending the next few years in a Dutch jail.

He was arrested today by police in Amsterdam after presenting himself at a police station to talk about an incident that took place earlier this month at an all-night rave event, which left a man with a potentially crippling injury.

Hari is accused of being one of several men who assaulted the travel industry entrepreneur Koen Everink and left him hospitalised with face and leg injuries. The worst injury, a broken ankle so bad he may have a permanently affected walking manner, was allegedly Hari’s work.

According to reports, the victim has told investigators that he was floored by his initial attackers and then looked up to see Hari standing over him. The Dutch-Moroccan is then alleged to have cried “Now go to hell!” before stamping heavily on his ankle and breaking it.

The day after the event, Hari and his girlfriend Estelle Gullit - estranged wife of the footballer Ruud Gullit - jetted off for a pre-booked “holiday in the sun”. Police said that he was not yet classed as either witness or suspect so there was no need to prevent him leaving the country.

When he came back this week he was apparently “afraid of being arrested by a SWAT team” and so he made arrangements to hand himself in. When he did so he was arrested at the front desk of the police station and for the time being he will now have contact with nobody except his lawyer, which means he cannot speak to radio reporters as he was doing this week.

Hari has also been accused by an Amsterdam nightclub owner of causing him severe injury in an assault last year. The owner of the Air venue says that he was left with a broken jaw and missing teeth after a kick from Hari but did not press charges at the time after extracting a promise from Hari that he would never return to the club.

News of the latest incident apparently prompted him to reconsider his position and he is now asking Dutch police to press charges. Its another blow for the beleaguered Hari, who has a well-deserved reputation for volatility and aggressive conduct.

A statement is expected tomorrow from Amsterdam police.

Link: Badr Hari Charged With 'Attempted Manslaughter' In Netherlands - Bloody Elbow

Quote:

Kickboxing superstar Badr Hari is in more trouble with the law. After getting arrested for an alleged assault at a popular Amsterdam music event, he has been charged with 'attempted manslaughter'. Inside Kickboxing has the news:

Quote:

Badr Hari is facing a possible attempted manslaughter charge following an appearance in front of an Amsterdam magistrate today.

He is alleged to have taken part in an assault on a reveller at a rave in Amsterdam Arena earlier this month, before going on holiday with his girlfriend Estelle Gullit, estranged wife of the Dutch footballing icon Ruud Gullit.

Having returned from holiday this week Hari handed himself in to police Wednesday night and was arrested on doing so. He has been detained in custody since then and today his remand was extended by the magistrates, who gave police permission to hold him for two weeks.

According to the complainant, Hari was one of three men that assaulted him at the event and was the one that stomped on his ankle, which snapped it in half. Our own Fraser Coffeen has been keeping us apprised of the events up until now, which you can read about in the links below.

Take Badr, thanks for playing.
