Foot: Diani's complaint against Ollé-Nicolle for sexual assault dismissed

The complaint by ex-Paris Saint-Germain player Kadidiatou Diani against her former coach Didier Ollé-Nicolle for sexual assault was filed in December 2023 and a related investigation was dismissed at the end of April, indicated Tuesday the Versailles prosecutor's office, requested by AFP.

The prosecution “confirms the classification without further action (for) absence of offense” of the complaint from the attacker of the France team, filed in June 2023 and which led to the opening of a preliminary investigation.

The player accused her former coach of touching her buttocks twice in August 2021, including once with a mini baseball bat.

After the media coverage of the complaint against him in September, Mr. Ollé-Nicolle's counsel, Me Guillaume Traynard, denounced an action which "apparently targets facts two years old of which he knows nothing" and which took place shortly after he became a civil party in a procedure targeting Ms. Diani’s companion, César Mavacala, indicted for “organized gang fraud”.

In addition, a dismissal of the case was returned on April 30 for insufficient charges in the judicial investigation opened against to be laid off, according to the prosecution.

Part of the facts that were accused of Mr. Ollé-Nicolle date back to the summer pre-season period of PSG in the United States in 2021, during which the club “heard” an “inappropriate gesture” on his part towards a player, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. At the time, the subject was closed by mutual agreement after hearing all parties.

These elements had pushed the Versailles public prosecutor's office to entrust these new investigations into sexual assault to an investigating judge. The club subsequently suspended Mr. Ollé-Nicolle, before he left the club amicably at the end of August 2022.

“Didier Ollé-Nicolle (...) is delighted with these two decisions which completely exonerate him after many months of investigation,” reacted Me Traynard in a press release sent to AFP on May 2.

Asked by AFP, the club did not wish to comment.

Ms. Diani's lawyer, Me Sandrine Pegand, who praised a “liberation of speech” during the media coverage of this complaint, was not immediately reachable.
