Paris Court Orders €40.6 Million Provisional Seizure of Booba’s Royalties in Berdah Dispute

Booba’s lawyers plan to challenge the precautionary order, citing lack of prior notice.

Overview

  • The Tribunal judiciaire de Paris set a provisional claim at €40,588,572 in favor of Magali Berdah and her companies Shauna Events, Sublime Talent and MB Conseil.
  • The saisie conservatoire targets authors’ rights held via Sacem, Universal Music France, Deezer, the mechanical-rights society, Because Music and streaming platforms through French intermediaries or labels.
  • Bank accounts, vehicles and other movable assets tied to Booba, who resides in Miami, are also covered by the order.
  • The measure immobilizes targeted revenues and assets pending examination of the underlying dispute between the parties.
  • Berdah alleges sustained online harassment and pressure on partner brands that hurt her business, as prior related proceedings saw Booba placed under investigation in 2023 and multiple third parties convicted, while a probe into Shauna Events was dropped.
