Casablanca – In an interview with Moroccan publication Le360, Nezha Regragui, the famous Moroccan actress and mother of singer Saad Lamjarred, who was recently arrested on charges of sexual assault, defends her son’s innocence.
When asked if she has had any news from him, Regragui said that she hadn’t. “I swear to you that I have no news from him,” she told Le360.
“Everything was going well for him and for his concert in Paris [at the Palais des Congrès],” she added. Lamjarred was scheduled to perform for a sold out crowed at the famous venue, a dream come true for any musician.
“The show was very important for him and for his career,” she continued.
Regragui claims her son has been set up, and that he is “paying the price for his success and fame.” She is devoted to helping him out of this situation, saying, “I will fight for him. God is big, and there are important lawyers who will defend him.”
The case is followed closely by Moroccan authorities, namely the Minister of Culture, Mohamed Amine Sbihi, who said that he is “following this issue with great interest and [that] contacts have been made between the authorities of both countries to clarify this matter.”
