More than a month after the scandal involving two PSG players broke out, the ongoing investigation has unveiled some secrets involving the former French player Eric Abidal who has now testified on Tuesday as a witness not as a defendant to investigators in the case for the attack on the soccer player, Kheira Hamraoui.
The information was revealed by the newspaper L’Équipe, which indicated that Abidal’s wife, Hayet, had given a statement the day before.
Kheira Hamraoui, a 31-year-old French international, was returning from a dinner on November 4 in a vehicle with her teammate Aminata Diallo at the wheel and was the victim of an attack by two individuals, who struck her several times “in the legs with a bar of iron”.
According to reports, Hamraoui told investigators that her mobile card was “in the name of her ex” and they established that was Eric Abidal, who’s Barcelona’s sports director from 2018 to 2020, years in those that the soccer player belonged to the Spanish club.
The former player and former Barça sports director acknowledged via a instagram post days after the attack on Hamraoui that he had had an intimate relationship with her and apologized to his wife, Hayet who was then considering divorce.
Eye witnesses said they had heard the assailants say: “So what happens? Do you sleep with married men?“. A phrase that generated rumors about a possible involvement of Hayat Abidal.
Hayet Abidal explained on Tuesday on her Instagram account that she was “relieved” and “happy” for having declared the day before to the police “as a simple witness” in this investigation.
“I was finally heard yesterday afternoon by the French Versailles police, as I had requested, and simply as a witness. I hope I have helped the investigation. Very soon my future ex-husband will be heard. My best wishes to all of you during this vacation. Take care! ” Hayet wrote, attaching an image to the front of the Court of Versailles, where the investigation continues to clarify what happened.
