Spanish rapper Morad is once again in the spotlight following his arrest in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat. The musician is suspected of violating a court-ordered restraining order that prohibits him from approaching his stepfather—a decision previously issued by the court. According to the investigation, Morad’s car was spotted less than 500 meters from his stepfather’s residence, prompting police intervention and his subsequent arrest.
Court restrictions and the defense’s position
After his arrest, Morad was brought before the duty judge, where the charges were explained to him. The rapper insists he was unaware that his stepfather had moved into that area, where the musician’s recording studio is located. According to his defense, the actual distance between Morad’s car and his stepfather’s home is questionable, and his lawyer is demanding an expert assessment to establish the facts precisely.
Background of the conflict and reasons for the restraining order
The conflict goes back years: Morad’s stepfather had previously been accused of abusing the musician’s mother. In response, Morad had a heated phone exchange with his stepfather, who then recorded the conversation and filed a complaint with the court over alleged threats. As a result, the court in Sant Feliu de Llobregat issued a restraining order barring any contact between Morad and his stepfather, including visiting locations linked to his stepfather’s work or leisure.
Legal troubles and previous incidents
Morad’s musical career has repeatedly intersected with legal troubles. In April 2024, he was already serving a six-month sentence for traffic violations, and earlier he received a two-year suspended sentence for participating in riots and resisting the police. In 2022, the court also restricted his movements in the Blocs Florida district, a place frequently featured in his music videos and considered significant for the artist.
Further developments in the case
Despite being released after questioning, the investigation is ongoing. Morad claims he has been under intense scrutiny from local law enforcement, who, he says, have stopped him several times over the past month. Judicial authorities plan to thoroughly examine all the circumstances to determine whether the restraining order was indeed violated.
