PSG President Al-Khelaïfi Faces Lawsuit for Alleged Labor Violations and Harassment

On Friday, Karmoussi filed a complaint against X targeting his former boss Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. He was a driver, steward, logistics but also a tennis partner of the PSG president. In his complaint consulted by BFMTV and RMC, he claims to have worked from 2011 to 2018 without an employment contract. The plaintiff claims to have also been a victim of moral harassment, the Parisian president’s "requests becoming more and more incessant and the hours more and more untenable".

The deterioration of "working and living conditions with Mr. Al-Khelaïfi" began in 2015. To support his words, Hicham recounts having for example received a "call from Mr. Al-Khelaïfi, summoning him to return to Paris as soon as possible, in order to ’clean the house’ in view of concealing any evidence of offenses in the event that a search would take place at his home." Hicham had complied. This request followed a search at the BeIn Sports headquarters the same day.

"For years, Hicham Karmoussi has worked without a contract or residence permit for Mr. Al-Khelaïfi and at an unsustainable pace. He now intends to denounce this brutal and cynical system," says his lawyer Antoine Ory.
