Le Grae accuses Sonia Suid: sports minister comes to support agent

Speech is released. After testimonies from former employees collected this fall by So Foot magazine and France Info, it was the turn of influential football agent Sonia Sweed to publicly accuse Noel Le Grae. According to her, since 2011, the FFF boss has been abusing his powers via SMS, then during a meeting at a hotel, during which he behaved more than inadequately.

“From the moment my president let me know that in order to bring my ideas to life, I had to walk in his bed … It’s a shock to understand this. This is a very delicate situation. At some point, I wanted to stop,” says Sonia Suid (37) in the newspaper L’Équipe. An interview that followed an interview conducted on BFMTV and aired on Monday night.

“Congratulations to Sonya Sweed for her courage in your testimony. Our audit will be worthy of it. See you very soon,” said Amelie Oudea-Kastera.

Sports minister multiplies accusations against the 81-year-old leader. This Monday, the day after the Zidane Gate, she called on the FFF executive committee to disassociate itself from the NLG and promised to help them dissolve it based on the findings of an audit conducted since September. “Comex will have material on the behavior of the president. We are at a critical moment for the future of this Federation,” she said.

Even if it should be remembered that the audit commissioned by the ministry is not primarily aimed at a specific leader, but at the overall leadership of the FFF, Sonia Sweed’s testimony weighs down the Breton Menhir’s dossier.

“We are talking about someone who has no doubts… He is the king and the Federation is his kingdom. He is not reflected in his achievements. He is not afraid of anything or anyone. He thinks he’s untouchable. It definitely is. He probably forgot everything that he told me now … ”, Sonia Sweed regrets. According to the latter, other women may soon take the floor. One is waiting for me to speak. There must be one first. »

Noel Le Grand has always denied allegations of harassment. This Tuesday it will again be heard by the inspectors. According to France Info, the first volley of testimonies from former employees report a recurrence of inappropriate behavior (untimely calls, “obscene” offer, “boorish” and “persistent” attitude). On the other hand, nothing seems to fall under the law and does not require the activation of Article 40 (a report to the prosecutor’s office). Conclusions must be made no later than mid-February.
