New trial for Mendi, he is at risk of life imprisonment!

From today (6/26), Benjamin Mendy is once again facing the British Justice, in order to be tried accused of rape and attempted rape!

The French international defender of Manchester City was acquitted last January, after five months of trial and 14 days of consultation, of six counts of rape and one sexual assault.

However, the court did not reach a verdict on two other charges, related to the rape of a 24-year-old woman in October 2020 and the attempted rape of a 29-year-old woman in 2018, which will be re-examined in three weeks in Chester, northern England.

Mendy, who has been left out of the “Citizens” team, while not renewing his contract, which expires on June 30, is even at risk of life imprisonment!

At the same time, his co-accused, Luis Saha Maturi, was found not guilty of three counts of rape, while the Court did not reach a verdict on three other counts of rape and three more cases of sexual assault.

Owner of the 2018 World Cup with the “tricolors”, where he was a substitute, the 28-year-old ace was jailed at the end of August 2021 and spent more than four months in custody.

Mendy was released from prison in early January 2022, while he was placed under judicial supervision pending trial.
