It is a story worthy of a film which was played on November 4, 2021 near Chatou (Yvelines) while Kheira Hamraoui thought she was going home quietly after an evening with her teammates from Paris Saint-Germain. A few hundred meters from her home, the 32-year-old player was very violently attacked by two hooded men with iron bars. A disturbing attack which mainly targets her legs, as if to harm her career as a professional footballer. The investigation first looks at Aminata Diallo, driving the vehicle that evening and competing for the same position in her club as in the national team.
Finally, the young woman is released, but the police officers of the crime prevention brigade of the judicial police of Versailles decide to wiretap her. If the investigation slips for a while, everything changed last week with the arrest of 4 suspects and Aminata Diallo. The latter has since been placed in pre-trial detention and the evidence gathered by the investigators seems to indicate that she was involved in the attack on her teammate. A Machiavellian idea that might have come to the mind of the 27-year-old player last October, when she replaced Kheira Hamraoui, injured, in the France team.
Money, family and Snapchat at the heart of the police investigation
At the time, Aminata Diallo was at the end of her contract with PSG and dreamed of signing a new juicy lease with the capital club. “25,000 or 30,000 € gross, no less!”she would have written to a confidant at the time, according to messages revealed by The Parisian. The young woman then completely changes her state of mind and becomes radicalized. “I’m going to get ruthless now! I need someone but to fuck my work for free I don’t accept… I wish them all well, I only need my loved ones”, she would have said. The financial bait and the need to help her family therefore make our colleagues think that the player would have changed her state of mind and decided to attack Kheira Hamraoui.
In this investigation, The Parisian also reveals a crucial element and increasingly used by the police, social networks. Indeed, the investigators would have noticed the deletion of the application Snapchat from Aminata Diallo’s phone, two days after the incident. An intriguing element and after performing a judicial requisition with the American company, they isolate several numbers that will lead to the arrest of the three suspects arrested last week.
