Romain Molina was heard as a witness, the prosecution told AFP, confirming information from the newspaper L’Equipe. After the attack on PSG player Kheira Hamraoui on November 4, 2021, a judicial investigation was opened for “criminal association” and “aggravated violence”. The investigation was then widened for “organized gang scam” due to suspicions of actions in the entourage of Aminata Diallo, a former PSG player suspected of having attacked Hamraoui, to destabilize the capital club. In this part of the investigation, César Mavacala, sports adviser to several Parisian players and close to Diallo, was indicted last month for extortion in an organized gang.

He is notably suspected of having, last season, put pressure on the Parisian club about the extension of the contract of Parisian star Marie-Antoinette Katoto, provided that Kheira Hamraoui leaves PSG at the end of the 2021 season. 2022. In this part of the investigation, César Mavacala is the only person to have been indicted, said the Versailles prosecutor’s office. More than a dozen people have, on the other hand, been heard free, as witnesses, in recent weeks, he added. Among them, in particular, the former French coach Corinne Deacon, whose lawyer denounced a “media destabilization operation meticulously set up against her”, and Romain Molina, heard Monday by the banditry repression brigade (BRB) of the PJ of Versailles. “He is suspected of being one of the journalists who would have been used by Aminata Diallo to pass on information on the potential actions of Ollé-Nicolle”, indicates to AFP a source close to the file.

Former Parisian coach Didier Ollé-Nicolle was kicked out of the club last season for behavior deemed inappropriate towards a player, which he disputes. A judicial investigation against X for “sexual assault by a person in authority” had been opened by the prosecution. Didier Ollé-Nicolle was heard freely in this context, without being prosecuted. Romain Molina is the target of two complaints filed last year by Kheira Hamraoui for “harassment”, “publication with a view to influencing judicial decisions” and “public defamation”. Charges he disputes.
