Former Paris Saint-Germain player Aminata Diallo was charged Friday night with aggravated assault after being taken into police custody last year in connection with an attack on one of her teammates.
According to the prosecutor’s statement, Diallo has been charged with a ‘planned and premeditated’ attack on her former Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kheira Hamraoui.
Diallo has been placed in prison temporarily pending further talks with the investigating judge. However, the prosecutor has asked Diallo to face pre-trial detention – which would mean she must remain in jail while she awaits further developments in the case.

Diallo was taken into custody in November and released without charge
Diallo’s police questioning came after four men were arrested in connection with the attack earlier this week.
Hamraoui was attacked after a night out with Diallo and other teammates. Hamraoui was hit several times with a metal bar and had to be stitched to her hands and legs.
Diallo has been without a club since her contract with PSG expired at the end of last season.

Earlier this year, Hamraoui bravely experienced the ‘traumatic attack’ after a team meal after revealing she feared for her life when two masked men beat her legs with iron bars.
“I have experienced an attack of unbelievable violence,” she told the French newspaper L’Equipe.
“Two hooded strangers took me out of the car I was traveling in to beat my legs with iron bars. That night I really thought I was going to stay there… I screamed in pain. I tried to protect myself as much as possible. I have a very painful memory.’
The PSG midfielder had previously revealed she feared for her life during the attack
Diallo has maintained her innocence since the start of the investigation and was previously released without charge after her first detention last year.
Diallo was held for 36 hours before being released by police last year. However, neither she nor her lawyer have publicly raised the recent charges.
