A French judicial official states that Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been placed under investigation for suspected corruption.
Daily Mail reports that the official claimed the preliminary charge of ‘active corruption’ was filed in mid-May.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
Le Parisien newspaper says the investigating magistrate suspects Al-Khelaifi of signing off on a $3.5 million payment to former IAAF president Lamine Diack to help Qatar land the track world championships.
