Luca Hernández: Trafficking Allegations

According to information from the French magazine “Paris Match”, the former FC Bayern defender and ex-world champion Lucas Hernández and his future wife Victoria Tray have been reported to the public prosecutor’s office in Versailles for human trafficking and illegal work. A Colombian family is said to be behind the allegations, which Hernández and his partner denied in a statement – the parents and their three children.

Accordingly, the couple is said to have provided the family with various household jobs for undeclared wages from September 2024 to November 2025 and did not properly register these jobs. Lola Dubois, the family’s lawyer, accuses the Paris Saint-Germain soccer star and his partner of depriving an entire family of their rights and speaks of an attitude “bordering on modern slavery.”

Hernández and Tray rejected the allegations in a joint statement on Instagram and spoke of a “breach of trust”. The couple denies acting with “bad faith” or “in defiance of the law.”

Bayern paid 80 million euros for Hernández

“We opened our home and our lives to people who introduced themselves as friends, who sought our kindness and for whom we felt genuine affection,” they wrote: “We helped them, supported them and believed them when they assured us that they were in the process of legalizing their status. That trust was betrayed.”

Hernández moved from Atlético Madrid to FC Bayern for 80 million euros a year after winning the World Cup with France in 2019. Among other things, he won the Champions League with the Munich team in 2020. In 2023 he went to the French series champions PSG, with whom he also won the premier class last year.
