The footballer claims that the club did not pay him the salary stipulated by his contract for almost two years.
Defender Lorient Benjamin Mehndi filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit Labor Tribunal against his former club Manchester city.
The footballer claims “unauthorized wage deductions” after he was charged with rape and sexual assault in 2021.
According to Mendy’s spokesman, “Manchester City have not paid him any wages at all since September 2021, after Benjamin was charged with various offenses of which he was subsequently cleared, until his contract expired in June 2023.” .
Recall that in July 2023, Chester Crown Court found Mendy not guilty of rape and attempted rape. The defender was accused of raping a 24-year-old woman in the bedroom of his Cheshire home in October 2020 and attempting to rape a 29-year-old woman two years earlier.
In January 2023, Mendy was found not guilty of seven counts of rape and sexual assault that allegedly occurred between October 2018 and August 2021.
For about two years, since the fall of 2021, Mendy has not played football. After his arrest, he was first in prison, then under house arrest. His contract with Manchester City expired on July 1.
On July 19, former rival of Alexander Zinchenko on the left flank of the City defense signed a two-year contract with Lorient. For the French Ligue 1 club, the 29-year-old Frenchman played three incomplete matches this season, totaling about 80 minutes.
