Lotfi Nezzar

Lotfi Nezzar is an Algerian businessman, son of Major-General Khaled Nezzar. He is vice-president of the Algerian wireless internet provider Smart Link Communication.

Notable history

On 18 October 2001, in an Algiers nightclub, he violently beat up a "Le Matin" reporter, Sid Ahmed Semiane, for having criticised his father. In a letter to the daily "Le Soir d'Algérie" published on 20 October, Nezzar stated that "the columnist Sid Ahmed Semiane was warned several times of having overstepped his role as a journalist, confusing humour with invective." Khaled Nezzar apologised for his son's actions three days later. At the end of June 2002, Lotfi Nezzar was eventually found guilty by a court in Cheraga (Algiers), and paid a fine of 12 euros. Semiane faced defamation charges, and was sentenced to six months in jail [http://www.wan-press.org/article2975.html] .
