Mocro Maffia actor Meftah sentenced to 120 hours of community service for violent incidents

Mocro Maffia actor Meftah has been sentenced to 120 hours of community service for two violent assaults committed during football matches between 2024 and 2025. The court rejected his self-defense claims, noting that the defendant showed a lack of remorse for the injuries caused to the victims.

The actor known for his role in the crime series Mocro Maffia has been sentenced to 120 hours of community service following two separate violent outbursts at football matches. The court ruled that Meftah intentionally assaulted other players, causing injuries including a broken nose and a facial wound. In the first instance occurring in September 2024, he punched a player, and several months later in February 2025, he struck a goalkeeper on the head using a scooter helmet. Rejecting his claims of self-defense, the judge highlighted that the victims suffered significant physical and emotional distress from the unprovoked attacks.

While the public prosecutor had initially requested a conditional prison sentence, the court opted for community service instead, citing the fact that the actor had no prior criminal record. The judge expressed concern that the defendant did not seem to grasp the gravity of his actions. Despite claims from the defense that the legal proceedings have negatively impacted his professional career, the court stated these consequences were a direct result of his own misconduct.
