{{A DRC court has given Koffi Olomide a three-month suspended prison sentence Thursday for injuring his producer in a fight in a Kinshasa hotel.}}<\/p>\n
Olomide fought in a hotel room with his music producer Diego Lubaki who was then visiting kinshasa for a few days.<\/p>\n
Gombe court in Kinshasa heard that Olomide went to the hotel and confronted the producer, better known as \u201cDiego Music\u201d. <\/p>\n
Olomide wanted to discuss Euros6000 he had paid the producer for a video that was never produced. In the process a fight broke out and several hotel security agents had to intervene. Olomide was subsequently arrested.<\/p>\n
Lubaki said Thursday he wanted to drop the charges against Olomide, the judge continued the trial.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wanted to withdraw charges in favour of social peace and peace between him and the one he calls his big brother,\u201d said one of Lubaki\u2019s lawyers.<\/p>\n
Still, Olomide was convicted of assault and battery but acquitted of another charge of malicious destruction, after the hotel room door was damaged in the fight.<\/p>\n
A conviction on that charge could have earned him a much tougher sentence \u2014 up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
