Eric Abidal’s wife wants to be heard to “stop the rumor”

Hayet Abidal, wife of the former FC Barcelona player, would like to be heard by investigators in the Hamraoui affair “in order to put an end to the rumor” of marital revenge. This has “nothing to do with these facts”, according to his lawyer.

“As early as Monday morning, she asked the Versailles prosecutor’s office, through her counsel, to be questioned in order to put an end to the rumor,” wrote her lawyer, Me Nicolas Cellupica, in a press release sent Tuesday evening. “Hayet Abidal has nothing to do with these facts,” he insisted. His client “will not comment on this case and wishes to be heard as quickly as possible by the investigators or the magistrate in charge of the case”, he added.

“Nothing is founded”

The chip used in the phone of Kheira Hamraoui, violently attacked on November 4 near Paris, was in the name of ex-international Eric Abidal. Kheira Hamraoui had explained to investigators that this chip was “in the name of her ex”, according to a source familiar with the matter. The player played for FC Barcelona at a time when Eric Abidal was sporting director of the Catalan club.

The hypothesis of a revenge in love with the entourage of Mr. Abidal is “a track considered among others”, had indicated Monday the parquet floor of Versailles, estimating that “nothing is founded” but not however excluding the possibility that Mr. Abidal’s wife, Hayet Abidal, will be heard like him.
