PSG attacked by a deputy

A European MP has taken legal action in a fraud case accusing Paris Saint-Germain. Manon Aubry took advantage of the opportunity to severely tackle the French champion club.

Like her political movement, Manon Aubry adopts an offensive style, adept at verbal attacks. The target of the MEP La France insoumise (LFI) is called Paris Saint-Germain. And in this case, we can call Aubry’s exit a punchline.

“ I don’t know if Paris is magical but it’s rather GĂ©rald Darmanin who is magical in making the taxes paid by PSG disappear, which obviously looks a little better at tax evasion than in the Champions League “, the politician drew this week on her account X (ex-Twitter).

Manon Aubry indicated that she had contacted the public prosecutor after the information from Mediapart implicating GĂ©rald Darmanin, still Minister of the Interior. He would have facilitated the transfer of Neymar (222 million euros) in the summer of 2017, requested by the leaders of PSG.

Nasser Al-KhelaĂŻfi, the president of the Parisian club, and part of his team at the time (Jean-Claude Blanc, general director of the club, and Jean-Martial Ribes, director of communications) would have negotiated with GĂ©rald’s cabinet Darmanin to be exempt from tax taxes. The fraud was estimated between 67 and 224 million euros.
