FC Nantes has been indicted as part of an investigation into alleged fraudulent transfers.
Like Franck Kita, its deputy general manager, the FCN was unable to escape indictment, placed at the heart of open investigations for illegal exercise of the profession of agent. This against two intermediaries, reports Ouest France: Bakari Sanogo and Joaquin Batica.
The public prosecutor of Rennes, Philippe Astruc, confirmed the news this Friday, almost two months after summoning the president of the club, Waldemar Kita, to his office. “The legal entity Société Anonyme Sportive Professionnelle FC Nantes was indicted on September 21, represented by its legal representative, Mr. Waldemar Kita. »
Irregularities noted since 2015
The searches of the financial section of the Nantes judicial police made it possible to highlight the fact that “the managers of the Nantes football club have had recourse on a recurring basis, at least since 2015, to the employment of unauthorized sports agents, by establishing sports agent contracts and player employment contracts under the cover of nominees, both in the context of player transfer negotiations and in the context of contract negotiations of players’ work”, said Philippe Astruc this summer after the indictment of Franck Kita.
