This Tuesday was decisive for Paris Saint-Germain. In addition to the dispute between it and Kylian Mbappé, the capital club was awaiting the decision of the Paris industrial tribunal on Tuesday in the Hamraoui affair. The ex-Paris midfielder sued the club for moral harassment and demanded 3.5 million euros in damages from the club. It was finally rejected
“Paris Saint-Germain takes note of the decision of the industrial tribunal, which confirms that the Club acted in compliance with the law and its contractual obligations throughout the employment relationship with Ms. Hamraoui. We hope that this decision will definitively close this chapter. Paris Saint-Germain continues to move forward, resolutely focused on its sporting projects and focused on the future of its collective,” the club responded in a press release, recalling that it has become a civil party in the criminal proceedings alongside its former player.
The player will appeal
“We are going to appeal this decision and we will explain ourselves before the Court,” the player’s lawyer, Maître Garbarini, explained to L’Équipe. I remain optimistic because I know my case, I know that the repeated actions against my client on the part of the club and which caused this moral harassment exist, so we will highlight them. »
The starting point of this case dates back to the violent attack suffered by Kheira Hamraoui in November 2021. She accuses having then been sidelined and not having been supported by PSG. “She trained alone for five months. One day, she saw that her number, 14, had been assigned to another player. It’s a slap in the face,” declared his lawyer, Me Garbarini, at the hearing on November 17.
“Regarding the accusations of moral harassment, the club recalls that, during the 2022-2023 season, Kheira Hamraoui took part in almost all of the official matches, until the end of his contract, proof that his sporting career continued under normal conditions within the professional group,” PSG estimated in a press release published a few minutes after the hearing.
