The pressure continues to mount on Noël Le Graët.
The inspectors in charge of an audit on the French Football Federation have indeed issued a report to justice, reports Saturday
Le Monde
, for a possible "sexist outrage" committed by the president of the FFF.
The report was made to the public prosecutor of Paris after the testimony of Sonia Souid, agent of several French internationals, collected by the auditors of the General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research (IGESR).
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra informed of the report
“I was informed by the head of the IGESR that, on the basis of the testimonies collected by the FFF mission, she was led to make a report in accordance with article 40 of the code of criminal procedure, due to a bundle of concordant elements on facts likely to take on a criminal qualification ”, reacted the Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, quoted by
Le Monde
.
Since then, her ministry has clarified that she has been informed of the report, in accordance with the procedure, and that she does not intend to comment further on the subject.
Noël Le Graët, for his part, learned “with astonishment of an article from
Le Monde
reporting leaks on the provisional report being prepared (by the IGESR)”.
“At this stage I know neither the facts of which I am accused nor the people who are behind them”.
“More generally, I am surprised that information can be disclosed even though the provisional report has not yet been sent to me and I have not been able to submit my observations on it”, a- he declared.
Sonia Souid's accusations
Agent Sonia Souid publicly denounced this week, to the daily
