Frenchman Benjamin Mendy, a former Manchester City player, will sue the English club for alleged non-payment of his wages after he was acquitted last January of six charges of rape and one of sexual assault in connection with four innocent teenagers in a separate case last June. .
The 29-year-old former City full-back has reportedly filed a multi-million pound claim in the employment tribunal against the company, accusing it of “unauthorized deductions from wages”, the player’s lawyer Nick de Marco KC revealed , to Sky. Sport.
Mendy was found not guilty of six rapes and sexual assaults involving four teenagers on January 13, following a nearly six-month trial at Chester District Court in England.
Furthermore, the full-back, who currently plays for Lorient, was found innocent in a retrial in the British city’s court in July.
When the investigation and allegations came to light in September 2021, Manchester City suspended the player’s employment and salary, but Mendy is now demanding his salary as he was dismissed until his contract with the Citizens expired last month. According to British media, they will therefore take action against the sports company in the Labor Court.
