Not to believe: PSG player was arrested for allegedly hiring criminals to injure a teammate
The footballer of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Aminata Diallo was arrested this Wednesday by agents of the Judicial Police for his alleged connection to a violent attack against his partner Kheira Hamraui.
Hamraui She was attacked last Thursday night by two masked men who hit her legs with an iron bar, which is why she was unable to play her team’s Champions League match against Real Madrid in Paris last night.
The night of the attack, after a dinner organized by PSG, Hamraui was returning home in a car driven by Diallo and in which another player was also. The masked men opened a door, took out Hamraui forcibly and beat her before fleeing.

The attacked woman suffered several stitches in her legs and hands, according to L’Equipe.
The sports newspaper advances that investigators question Diallo about the possibility that he hired the two hitmen to injure Hamraui and thus take his starting position at PSG and consolidate himself in the French team, since both occupy similar positions as defensive midfielders.
In fact, Diallo was called up to replace Hamraui (victim of a minor injury) in two qualifying matches for the World Cup 2023 disputed by France at the end of October.
This hypothesis is strengthened by the fact that the two attackers did not try to rob Hamraui or the other two players and only attacked her at the height of the legs.
L’Equipe adds that after this attack, PSG has hired the services of a private security company to protect its players.
The PSG issued a statement in which it condemned the attack and indicated that it collaborates with the Judicial Police of the Versailles Prosecutor’s Office, which deals with the case, and affirmed that it has taken “all the necessary provisions” to guarantee the safety of its players.
Hamraui, from 31 years and French international in 36 occasions, he returned to PSG this season after passing through Lyon and playing three seasons at FC Barcelona that last season won the Women’s Champions League.
For his part, Diallo, from 26 years and a French international on seven occasions, he was on loan last season at Atlético de Madrid.
