In March 2018, Elye Wahi was expelled from the Collège Jean-Moulin secondary school in partnership with Caen's youth academy.[6] On 12 March 2018, the Collège had summoned Wahi’s stepfather, his legal representative, to a disciplinary committee on the grounds that Wahi had committed the following actions: "Under the verbal threat of physical violence, [Wahi] ordered three of his classmates to follow him into the restrooms and forced them to undress."[6] In November 2021, investigative reporter Romain Molina alleged that Wahi had pressured the three students to masturbate in front of him.[32][7]
In October 2021, a 22-year-old woman filed a legal complaint against Wahi for violence that resulted in her being incapable to work. She claimed that he had punched her in the nose during an evening out at the L'Entrepôt nightclub in Lattes, Hérault, on the night of 12–13 September a month earlier.[33] The woman received treatment from emergency services for her injuries.[34] Wahi's entourage denied the allegations, and the case was eventually closed without further action.[6]
In June 2026, The Athletic reported Wahi had been arrested by French police in May over alleged fixing offences.[35]
