🚨🚨💣 BREAKING! HUGE INVESTIGATION by @lequipe around Mohamed “Momo” Sanhadji, the trusted man and head of security for the Blues for over 20 years. The charges against him are DISTURBING. 🥶😳 He is being prosecuted for corruption, influence peddling, fraud, and money laundering. He is suspected of having taken advantage of his vast network in football to obtain money and numerous personal benefits. The (non-exhaustive) list is crazy: 👉🏾 He allegedly received over €300,000 from several French internationals between 2020 and 2024, not to mention the vacations offered and other in-kind benefits. 👉🏾 To finance the purchase of a house, he reportedly solicited around fifteen players and former players, explaining that he was experiencing financial difficulties. To several of them, he assured that they were the only ones he was asking for help. 👉🏾 In total, €215,000 has been loaned to him: • Kylian Mbappé, via Fayza Lamari: €120,000 • Raphaël Varane: €20,000 • Sabri Lamouchi: €20,000 • Laurent Blanc: €20,000 • Yann M'Vila: €15,000 • Mattéo Guendouzi: €7,500 👉🏾 Fayza Lamari also reportedly paid €7,000 for dental expenses for Mohamed Sanhadji. 👉🏾 “Momo” also accompanied Kylian Mbappé and his mother on their private trip to Cameroon in the summer of 2023. His presence raised eyebrows within the police as the trip had nothing to do with the French team and was outside of his official duties. 👉🏾 Franck Ribéry reportedly offered him a stay in Sicily worth €6,000 after Sanhadji facilitated the obtaining of documents in Algeria for some of his relatives. 👉🏾 Djibril Sidibé, Nabil Fekir, Moussa Sissoko, and Bacary Sagna were also reportedly solicited for money or benefits. 👉🏾 Hugo Lloris, Patrick Vieira, Willy Sagnol, Nicolas Anelka, and other big names in French football were also approached to lend him money. 👉🏾 The investigation has already led to searches at the FFF and at Fayza Lamari's. Mohamed Sanhadji is now under judicial control and is prohibited from associating with the football world. He avoided pre-trial detention by paying a bail of €80,000, spread over several months... #Football #Corruption #Enquête (translated)

🚨🚨💣 BIG CASE SURROUNDING MOHAMED "MOMO" SANHADJI, head of security for the French national team for over 20 years. 🇫🇷😳 The investigation revealed by L'Équipe describes how this man, who has become extremely close to many stars of French football, allegedly used his connections to obtain loans, gifts, trips, and personal services. Among the disclosed elements 👇 💰 To buy a house for €440,000, Sanhadji is said to have asked for money from about fifteen players. €215,000 was ultimately loaned to him, notably: • Kylian Mbappé, through Fayza Lamari: €120,000 • Raphaël Varane: €20,000 • Sabri Lamouchi: €20,000 • Laurent Blanc: €20,000 • Yann M’Vila: €15,000 • Mattéo Guendouzi: €7,500 🤫 He allegedly asked several to keep these loans secret, even writing: "otherwise I’m dead." 🦷 Fayza Lamari also supposedly paid €7,000 for his dental expenses. The Mbappé family also financed the travel of their sons' football club for a tournament and invited him and his family to PSG-Bayern in 2023, including a night at the Royal Monceau. 📲 His closeness with the Mbappé clan was such that Fayza Lamari supposedly went through him to send messages to Didier Deschamps, notably after Kylian Mbappé was not selected in the fall of 2024. She also allegedly asked him to intervene with the coach regarding Rayan Cherki. ✈️ Sanhadji also allegedly solicited several personalities to finance his vacations. After facilitating administrative procedures for relatives of Franck Ribéry, he was offered a stay in Sicily worth €6,000. 🇲🇦 Jamel Debbouze allegedly invited him to his riad in Morocco, with a driver and buggy, after Sanhadji secured a spot for his son in a highly sought-after training at Clairefontaine. 🎟️ In 2022, Patrice Evra allegedly offered him €10,000 if he managed to retrieve 80 tickets for the Champions League final Liverpool-Real Madrid at the Stade de France. 💶 Mattéo Guendouzi also allegedly considered donating part of his bonuses from the 2022 World Cup to the police accompanying the French team. Sanhadji allegedly asked him to keep it "very discreet" and to have it justified accountably. ⚖️ Mohamed Sanhadji is currently being charged and is under judicial control. Philippe Diallo explained to the investigators that his behavior was contrary to the ethical and deontological charter of the FFF. His entourage contests the interpretation of certain elements and indicates that he "will reserve his statements for the justice system." 🇫🇷 #Football #FF #Enquête (translated)
