The police are now interested in Noël Le Graët. An investigation into moral harassment and sexual harassment was opened on Monday following the report for “sexist outrage” targeting the president of the French Football Federation, the Paris prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday, requested by AFP.
This report was made after the testimony of Sonia Souid, agent of several French internationals, collected by the auditors of the General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research (IGESR), according to the daily The world. Noël Le Graët, under pressure for several days, was “withdrawn” from the presidency of the federation by the executive committee, which met last Wednesday in an extraordinary session.
“We had to go to the pan”
Sonia Souid publicly denounced last week, to the daily The Team and on RMC, the behavior deemed sexist by the man who has chaired the FFF since 2011. “He told me face to face, in his apartment, very clearly, that if I wanted him to help me, I had to go to the pan,” she said.
Referring to her past professional relationship with the boss of French football, she explains that she had the feeling “that each time, the only thing that interests her, and I apologize for speaking vulgarly, are my two breasts and my ass. “. Asked on Saturday by AFP, the Ministry of Sports clarified that Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra had been informed of the report, in accordance with the procedure, and that she was not intended to comment further on the subject.
Le Graët is surprised by the “leaks”
“At this stage I know neither the facts of which I am accused nor the people who are behind them,” he said. “More generally, I am surprised that information can be disclosed even though the provisional report has not yet been sent to me and I have not been able to submit my observations on it”. The investigation was entrusted to the brigade for the repression of delinquency against the person (BRDP).
