French football president Le Graet under investigation for sexual harassment

PARIS, FRANCE - The president of the French Football Federation, Noel Le Graet, has been placed under investigation for sexual and psychological harassment, prosecutors told AFP on Tuesday.

In a statement sent to AFP by his lawyers, Le Graet said he "denies all accusations of psychological or sexual harassment or any other criminal offence". Le Graet said in an interview with RMC that he "wouldn't even have taken his call" when asked whether Zidane, a World Cup winner as a player and an all-time France great, had rung him to express an interest in taking over as coach from Didier Deschamps.

Le Graet's lawyers told AFP he was shocked to discover through the media that an investigation had been opened and complained about the "numerous interventions and political pressure" from Oudea-Castera. The affair casts a shadow over French football so soon after they lost on penalties to Argentina in an epic final in Qatar.
