PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi Indicted in Lagardère Governance Case

Al-Khelaïfi faces charges of complicity in abuse of power and vote manipulation, as Qatar reaffirms its commitment to French investments.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG and a board member of Qatar's sovereign wealth fund QIA, was indicted on February 5 for alleged complicity in abuse of power and vote manipulation in a 2018 governance dispute within the Lagardère group.
The investigation focuses on whether Al-Khelaïfi influenced QIA’s voting decisions in favor of Arnaud Lagardère in exchange for potential undisclosed benefits.
QIA has issued a statement rejecting allegations of misconduct by Al-Khelaïfi, emphasizing that he had no substantive role in the governance decisions of the Lagardère group.
The case is part of a broader probe into Lagardère's financial and governance controversies, including accusations of misuse of company funds by Arnaud Lagardère.
Qatar has reaffirmed its commitment to its investments in France, including PSG and BeIN Sports, dismissing speculation of a potential withdrawal.
