France 2’s ‘Complément d’enquête’ Probes PSG President Nasser al-Khelaïfi
Nasser al-Khelaïfi under scrutiny in upcoming investigative report
Paris, November 2024 – The spotlight is set to shine on Nasser al-Khelaïfi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and beIN Media Group, as he becomes the subject of an in-depth investigative feature on France 2’s weekly program "Complément d’enquête." The episode, which is nearing the end of its production phase, aims to explore the intricate networks, strategies, and influence wielded by the prominent Qatari businessman.
Exploring al-Khelaïfi’s rise to prominence
The investigation, led by France 2 journalist Fabien Touati, will delve into how Nasser al-Khelaïfi rose to fame in France following the acquisition of PSG by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011. The program seeks to unravel the complexities of his ascent within the sports and media industries.
A cautious approach from PSG
While PSG and al-Khelaïfi appear to have tentatively cooperated with the program, viewers should not expect to see the influential figure facing a direct interview with host Tristan Waleckx. Instead, the show will focus on the broader aspects of his career and affiliations.
Legal challenges amid media scrutiny
Recently, al-Khelaïfi found himself embroiled in legal controversies, adding to the media attention. He was indicted last week in connection with an ongoing investigation involving Arnaud Lagardère. The case centers around allegations that a key vote by a Qatari shareholder in Lagardère’s group was potentially influenced in 2018, with al-Khelaïfi suspected of playing a role.
As the episode draws closer to its broadcast, interest in al-Khelaïfi’s activities is likely to intensify, offering viewers a rare glimpse into the life and operations of one of the most powerful figures in the world of sports and media.
