PSG is the subject of a preliminary investigation for “hidden work» according to information from the team.

Contacted by our colleagues, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed that “on complaint received on 13 December 2022, an investigation was opened on January 16, 2023 of the head of concealed work.»
The complaint relates to the 2015-2018 period during which Bouajila, a 49-year-old Tunisian businessman, had carried out several missions for the club after having helped the Qatari leader to settle in France in 2011. The two men had met when the latter was president of the Al-Jazeera Sport network, ex-beIN Sports.

The plaintiff’s lawyer explains to the Team that his client only received in return for his missions a “sporadic and irregular remuneration“, via a legal arrangement involving a tennis academy based in Doha with which he has nothing to do. The employment contract in question mentioned the position of “tennis teacher”.
Asked by the team about Hicham Bouajila, PSG replied that he “has never been employed by PSG or beIN”, and indicates that he does not want to be concerned “totally misleading individuals who trade in misinformation and media manipulation.»
