Yesterday Nantes CEO Franck Kita was taken into custody along with (agents) Bacary Sanogo and Joaquim Batica by French prosecutors specializing in organized crime and financial crimes.
In June 2022, a judicial investigation was opened under the article “illegal exercise of sports agent activities”. Our club’s negligence lawsuit against FC Nantes presents direct facts showing that Kita informed Sanogo of the proposed transfer fee for Sala. Inexplicably.
In these circumstances, our club believes it would be fairer for Nantes’ complaint to be postponed pending the completion of the investigation by the French police and the club’s complaint against Nantes in the French courts, Cardiff said in a statement. communicated.
Cardiff previously said they were suing Nantes after the Swiss Federal Court ruled the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) lacked jurisdiction to hear their claim for damages over Sala’s transfer. Last August, CAS rejected Cardiff’s appeal against a FIFA decision ordering them to pay the first installment of the transfer fee.
Cardiff left the Premier League at the end of the 2018/19 season and haven’t returned to the top flight since.
