Influencer Kenza Benchrif, known online as Poupette Kenza, is preparing to face trial in France for charges including attempted extortion and involvement in a criminal organization, according to prosecutors in Rouen. On July 7, 2026, an indictment was finalized, requesting that three individuals—Kenza Benchrif, her husband Allan Liehrmann, and a third person—be referred to the correctional court. The charges include "attempted extortion," "participation in an association of criminals aimed at preparing a crime punishable by at least five years in prison," and "possession and transportation of a category A weapon," which refers to a high-risk item such as a grenade. While one report briefly mentioned a charge of "organized extortion attempt," it was not ultimately included in the final indictment. Another report clarified that the case involves delictual acts—civil wrongs rather than criminal offenses—though the nature of the charges remains serious. The investigation began after a couple filed a complaint in February 2024, alleging they were subjected to extensive surveillance, including the installation of mini-cameras around their home and a GPS tracker on their vehicle. They claimed to have been physically threatened with the demand for 200,000 euros. The presumed perpetrator of the extortion attempt was arrested during a scheduled meeting to hand over the money, while carrying a grenade. This led to a broader investigation that included Kenza Benchrif and her husband. Kenza Benchrif was placed under investigation on July 7, 2024, and held in custody for four months before being released on October 31, 2024, under judicial supervision. At the time of her arrest, she was pregnant with her third child. She now resides in Angers and shares content about her life as a mother on social media, particularly on Instagram. In recent months, some of her posts expressing support for Palestine and criticism of Israel have sparked controversy. The case is now in the hands of the investigating judge, who will decide whether to forward the case to the correctional court or dismiss it. Poupette Kenza and her husband are scheduled to appear before the court on March 18, 2027, for additional charges related to "hidden work, deceptive commercial practices, and the employment of a foreign person in an irregular situation." These charges suggest potential violations of labor laws or tax regulations. The outcome of the trial will be closely watched, given Kenza Benchrif's public profile and the broader implications of the case.
