Illegal Immigrants Finally Convicted Four Years After Raping 18-Year-Old Girl
11th September 2025
The Bouches-du-Rhône juvenile court sentenced two men to long prison terms for the rape of an 18-year-old woman near the SNCF train station in Aix-en-Provence in December 2021.
“It’s a brutal rape par excellence,” said the victim’s lawyer, Maud Bertrand, to Le Figaro.
The court handed Mohamed Annabi, a 29-year-old Algerian, a 17-year sentence that includes a two-thirds security period, a permanent ban from French territory, and registration in the FIJAIS (automated judicial file for perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses). His accomplice, Amen-Allah Handiri, a 20-year-old Tunisian who was 17 at the time of the crime, received 15 years.
The attack took place on one December night in 2021. Around 3 a.m., the victim, referred to as Anissa, left the Shakespeare Club on Place Ramus. Walking home alone, she was approached by the two men, then aged 17 and 25, who spoke to her in Arabic. Sensing their pursuit, Anissa called her boyfriend in an attempt to scare them off. “Stop, I don’t know you!” her boyfriend shouted through the phone, before hearing crying and then silence.
