الشرطة الجزائرية

Algerian security authorities have arrested former Miss Algeria and influencer Wahida Krouj for her involvement in a case of assault and defamation, according to the Algerian newspaper "Al-Nahar."

The newspaper reported that sources from the National Gendarmerie stated that "Wahida was apprehended in the (Ouled Fayet) area of the capital, Algiers, following a report about her assaulting a person, with the incident filmed and shared on social media."

Investigations revealed that "the victim was attacked inside the defendant's home, where he was lured and detained, before the scene was documented on video and shared for the purpose of defamation," according to the newspaper.

Following the video's circulation, the Algerian influencer posted another video denying the kidnapping or threatening of the victim. However, the complaint filed by the affected individual prompted security authorities to investigate in coordination with the relevant prosecutor's office.

Krouj appeared before the Chéraga Court on Thursday, where a decision was made to place her in temporary detention at El-Khali’a Prison, pending the continuation of legal proceedings.
