The rapper Morad voluntarily entered the Barcelona prison of Brians 2 on Sunday afternoon, located in the municipality of Sant Esteve Sesrovires (Barcelona), so he has already spent his first night in this penitentiary center. His entry into prison responds to the completion of a six-month sentence in a case for a traffic crime for which the singer had already been sentenced in 2022 for reckless driving for not having a license while using a car.
According to the testimony of several local police officers from L'Hospitalet de Llobregat – the Barcelona town where the rapper is from -, with his actions he had put the road safety of people and vehicles at risk, in addition to refusing to obey in a first moment his orders to stop. However, the Prosecutor's Office and the defense agreed on a compliant sentence of half a year in prison, with which Morad's lawyers later argued before the court their request that he not go to prison as he did not exceed two years.
However, the representative of the Public Ministry finally opposed this and demanded that those six months of deprivation of liberty be carried out, which the court finally agreed to considering that Morad has several records of confrontations with police officers and has even been subsequently convicted. In any case, with the third degree and other prison benefits he will probably only be imprisoned for less than half of that time, so his representatives hope that he can be released this summer in view of the summer performances that he had. already planned.
Concert tour
In any case, there does not seem to be any danger for the rapper's concert tour in large pavilions in Spanish cities that will begin on September 8 at the Marina Norte in Valencia. Afterwards, he will go on October 5 to the Bizkaia Arena-BEC in Bilbao, on December 23 to the Wizink Center in Madrid and on January 3, 2025 to the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, among other places.
Last February he was already sentenced by the Provincial Court of Barcelona to another two years in prison for attacking the authority of several local agents from L'Hospitalet de Llobregat in August 2021. The events took place when they urged him to stop recording a video clip in the Blocs de La Florida area in L'Hospitalet, the singer's neighborhood, due to lack of permission. The execution of this second sentence is suspended until the appeals presented by Morad's defense are resolved.
