Sport's Strangest Crimes

8. The Accused


Listen Later

Maisie Adam introduces a very special episode of Sport's Strangest Crimes: A French Football Scandal. Aminata Diallo, the footballer awaiting trial for organising an attack on one of her team mates, speaks openly about the case.

Aminata Diallo, in conversation with Charlotte Harpur and Tom Williams, recalls the night of the attack as she remembers it, what happened in the immediate aftermath and the shock of her arrest just hours after starring for PSG against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Diallo also discusses her relationship with Hamraoui and how it felt returning to play alongside her after her initial release from police custody.

In addition, she talks about her re-arrest in September 2022, how it felt to be charged, now with the threat of a prison sentence hanging over her.

And she addresses head on the revelations and accusations from the secret surveillance of her, along with those details of her internet searches and police reports that were subsequently leaked to the media.

And she opens up about the personal impact the whole affair has had on her and those close to her. It's unmissable.
