Prosecutors are urging a two-year jail term for Moroccan international Ilias Chair, accused of assaulting a truck driver by smashing his skull with a rock during a brawl in Bazeilles, northern France, in 2020.
The Antwerp-born midfielder, 26, denies the charges, with his lawyers suggesting the trucker aimed to profit from the footballer.
Antwerp’s public prosecutor revealed, “Ilias Chair lashed out at Niels T with a stone, knocking him unconscious,” resulting in severe injuries.
The prosecutor seeks a two-year prison sentence and a £1,400 fine for Chair, along with lesser penalties for his friends Nora H. and Jaber C., as reported by The Sun.
