One day before the incarceration of scammer Jerando: the countdown to shame has begun

With 24 hours left until the deadline, Hicham Jerando, a repeat offender in slander and a professional defamer, has no more escape routes. The Canadian justice system, relentless in the face of his misconduct, has sentenced him to 60 days of prison, 250 hours of community service, and several thousand dollars in damages for his defamatory attacks against lawyer Saïd Lamtiri and judge Abdelrahim Hanin. The verdict is final: between August 1st and 5th, he must turn himself in to Canadian authorities to serve his sentence. Otherwise, an arrest warrant with physical coercion will be issued, further worsening his already heavy case.

The court had been crystal clear: Jerando was ordered to immediately delete the videos in which he defames his victims. He did not comply. This deliberate refusal to follow a court order is not just an act of defiance; it is a new offense against the law, subject to further penalties. His arrogant behavior could significantly increase his sentence.

This is not the first time Jerando has refused to comply with a court ruling. In the Lamtiri case, he had already ignored a previous decision in 2023, ordering him to retract his false statements. As a result, the court ordered him to pay Lamtiri 70,000 Canadian dollars in moral damages, 85,000 Canadian dollars in punitive damages to sanction his conduct, and 9,514 Canadian dollars in pecuniary damages, for a total of 164,514 Canadian dollars.

Jerando long hid behind the mask of a “whistleblower.” In truth, he is nothing more than an online agitator, lacking both scruples and credibility, using hatred as his business model. His baseless accusations, grotesque video edits, and personal attacks are neither journalism nor civic justice — they are criminal offenses.

On the eve of his incarceration, the fake crusader is being caught by his own lies. If he continues to evade responsibility, he will be arrested by force and face an extended sentence. Jerando won’t be able to claim he wasn’t warned: Canadian justice does not forget.
