Former Paris St-Germain midfielder Kheira Hamraoui has filed a 3.5m euros (\u00a33.08m) claim against the French club, alleging she was forced out after being attacked with an iron bar.<\/b><\/p>\n
In November 2021, Hamraoui was dragged from a car by two masked men who beat her legs with an iron bar as she returned home from a team meal, with the driver being then team-mate Aminata Diallo.<\/p>\n
Diallo, who was vying for the same spot in the PSG team with Hamraoui, was detained<\/a> and charged with instigating the attack on her team-mate. <\/p>\n Hamraoui has now alleged she was the victim of “moral harassment” by some of the PSG players after the incident. <\/p>\n Her lawyer Pascal-Pierre Garbarini argued at an employment tribunal in Paris that PSG forwards Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani refused to pass the ball to Hamraoui during games. <\/p>\n Garbarini said Hamraoui was “ostracised” on the pitch, in the changing room, in the stands and on social media channels.<\/p>\n “What did PSG do? Nothing!” he said.<\/p>\n Hamraoui is seeking damages for moral harassment, failure to meet security obligations, failure to prevent moral harassment, moral prejudice and loss of opportunity from the French club. <\/p>\n However, PSG’s lawyer Benjamin Louzier said Hamraoui did not have a medical certificate attesting to suffering from harassment and had not contacted PSG or the club’s employees’ council about it.<\/p>\n The tribunal is expected to deliver its verdict on the case in mid-December.<\/p>\n Six others were also charged in connection with the attack on Hamraoui, along with Diallo. <\/p>\n In February 2025, prosecutors concluded their investigation but a judicial case remains officially ongoing.<\/p>\n A France international, 35-year-old Hamraoui currently plays for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia and has previously represented Barcelona, Lyon and Saint-Etienne among other clubs. <\/p>\n Monday’s hearing took place in a packed room before another employment dispute<\/a> involving PSG and another former player – Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
