“The investigating judge asked for additional information, which was provided to him in full transparency and in full cooperation with the authorities, as has been the case since the beginning,” said a spokesman for the PSG chairman.
The judicial inquiry was opened in January after 42-year-old lobbyist Tayeb Benabderrahmane filed a complaint. In the complaint, Benabderrahmane denounces his arrest in January 2020 in Qatar, where he had moved three months earlier to lobby.
He claims he was detained for six months and interrogated by local officers, particularly over documents he allegedly possessed that could endanger PSG’s Qatari boss, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
He then said he was placed under house arrest and eventually allowed to leave Qatar in November 2020, after signing a non-disclosure agreement committing himself not to disclose these documents.
