Community service and compensation for Badr Hari over assault on ex-partner

Dutch-Moroccan kickboxer Badr Hari has been sentenced to 24 hours of community service for assaulting his ex-partner, the Public Prosecution Service confirmed Thursday.

The incidents reportedly took place in September 2024 and again on February 2, 2025. Hari was arrested after the latter and spent three days in custody.

In addition to community service, he was handed a contact ban, a one-year location ban, and ordered to pay damages. The penalty notice means the case was settled without a judge, with Hari given two weeks to appeal, a step he did not take, making the sentence final.

This is not Hari’s first conviction. In October 2015, he was sentenced on appeal to two years in prison, ten months suspended, for assaulting businessman Koen Everink at the Amsterdam ArenA in 2012.
