Paris prosecutors have reopened an investigation into alleged discrimination by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) following a complaint by France's Human Rights League. The complaint alleges that club scouts engaged in illegal profiling of potential recruits based on their origins. The investigation, which was initially closed in August 2022, was reopened in May of this year.
The Human Rights League filed a lawsuit, prompting the prosecutor's office to look into the matter. The new complaint cites discrimination on the grounds of origin and the improper storage of data revealing racial or ethnic origins, a practice prohibited by French law.
