The Paris prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday that it has opened an investigation into moral and sexual harassment of Noel Le Graet, the president of the French Football Federation (FFF).
Le Graet, who previously denied allegations of sexual harassment during an audit commissioned by the sports ministry, last week “stepped a step back” from his duties, with Philippe Diallo acting as interim president. FFF said.
Le Graet was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday.
“An investigation into allegations of moral harassment and sexual harassment was launched yesterday, in response to a report by the IGESR (General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research) dated 13 January 2023,” the prosecutor’s office told Reuters.
