The alleged incident reportedly took place at the Cote d' Azure. Ben Yedder has had to pay €900,000 for bail, as per The Sun.

Wissam Ben Yedder was recently given a jail sentence for tax fraud
Wissam Ben Yedder spent three years between 2016 and 2019 in the La Liga with Sevilla. However, the player was given a jail sentence for tax fraud during his time in Spain.
The striker was also handed a financial fine of £134,000. Ben Yedder made a total 138 appearances for Sevilla, scoring 70 goals and providing 22 assists across competitions for the La Liga club.
Ben Yedder reportedly falsified his interests and failed to clear up confusion regarding €80,000 of his image rights. The situation forced the court to sentence Ben Yedder to jail time as well as a financial fine.
While Ben Yedder was once touted among top French attacking prospects in world football, off-field controversies have become quite a staple to the player in recent times.
