He didn't want to talk about it, but he talked about it anyway.

Guest of Sud Radio, Mohed Altrad, clearly implicated by the investigators of the BRDE (Brigade for the repression of economic delinquency) in the revelations of the Team, and who will appear at his trial in September 2022 for influence peddling and illegal taking of interests in companion of Bernard Laporte, briefly mentioned the case without going into detail.

As a reminder, the two men are suspected, among other things, of having agreed upstream for Mohed Altrad's AIA group to become the jersey sponsor of the XV of France in 2018 at a price well below the market, without the historical sponsors of the Blues cannot align.

“Not to the extent that there are improper things”

“Bernard Laporte is someone I appreciate, who has actually become very close, recognized the entrepreneur. But that doesn't mean there are things behind that that would be improper and that I would practice. I completely reject (the idea of ​​bribery) and I can't tell you why at this point, because there is the secrecy of the instruction. But it's not just the accusation of corruption, there's that of influence peddling, passive corruption… I don't want to tell you a lot about that, even if I want to say things. »

The president of the Montpellier club also made it clear that he did not intend to question his contract with the Blues, despite the prospect of a trial in the fall: "I am the sponsor of the French team until after the next World Cup in 2023. It is not in question, there is a contract.

Suspicions of favoritism?

We don't say that I benefited from it, we say “I would have benefited”.

It is always the lethal weapon of journalists.

We affirm something in the conditional.

As a result, affirmation is not an affirmation.
