Lourde condamnation pour la légende du foot Abdoulaye Traoré, dit "Ben Badi"

Former Ivory Coast international Abdoulaye Traoré has been brought to justice. On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, the man nicknamed Ben Badi was reportedly found guilty of rape, bringing to a close a legal case that began in 2021.

A final verdict

According to information relayed by Franck Bi Ballo Zoro, the court issued a decision accompanied by particularly severe sanctions against the former Elephants star:

Prison sentence: 36 months (3 years) of imprisonment.
Financial compensation: 15 million FCFA to be paid to the victim as damages.

Deprivation of rights and prohibitions

Beyond the prison sentence, the sentence includes restrictive civil measures designed to emphasize the seriousness of the offenses:

Civic rights: A ban on exercising one's civic rights for a period of 10 years .
Removal measure: A ban on residing in the city of Bouaké for a period of 5 years .

From the pinnacle of stadiums to judicial downfall

Born on March 4, 1967 in Abidjan, Abdoulaye Traoré remains one of the emblematic figures of Ivorian football. Twice top scorer in the national championship (1992 and 1994) and joint top scorer at the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations, the renowned former striker now sees his sporting legacy tarnished by this criminal conviction.
