PARIS: A legal source in Paris told AFP that a court has charged the grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan Al-Banna with rape.
A Paris prosecutor earlier called for the ongoing detention of Tariq Ramadan for his alleged involvement in two incidents of rape.
Ramadan, a Swiss citizen, was taken into custody Wednesday as part of a preliminary enquiry in Paris into rape and assault allegations made against him.
A regular face on French television, Ramadan is the most prominent figure to be held in France over sexual assault and harassment claims that emerged with the #MeToo campaign
