In a ruling published on Friday, the Federal Supreme Court dismissed the appeals lodged by Valcke and a Greek businessman against their conviction by the Appeals Chamber of the Federal Criminal Court. In June 2022, this instance had imposed an eleven-month prison sentence and a fine, both conditional, on Valcke for passive bribery and forgery of documents.
The second defendant had been sentenced to ten months' suspended imprisonment for active bribery. The president of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who was on trial in his capacity as director of a media group, was acquitted of the charge of aggravated mismanagement.
