Former international team member Bruno Martini has been charged with “corrupting minors” and “recording images of child pornography”.

Bruno Martini, a former 1995 and 2001 world champion with France’s national handball team, was arrested and taken into custody on Monday for “corrupting minors” and “recording images of child pornography.” The former goalkeeper and now president of the National Handball League, according to the France Info agency that uncovered the case and which we can confirm, spent 48 hours in police custody in Paris.

In the summer of 2020, the 52-year-old former PSG player and manager, represented by master Elie Dottelonde, allegedly reached out to the 13-year-old on social media in the summer of 2020. After months of investigation, police ended up arresting the former Barjot goalkeeper on Monday morning at his Parisian home. Two of his apartments, in Paris and Montpellier, were searched and his computer equipment was seized.

During his detention, he admitted the facts of corruption of minors, the exchange of nude photographs with several minors, but he defends himself from child pornography records. Sent on Tuesday evening to the Paris court, he was released for a probable appearance after a preliminary confession of guilt. .
