Serge Aurier, Full back for both PSG and Cote D’Ivoire has been sentenced to two months in jail for allegedly attacking a police officer.
The 23-year-old is accused of assaulting the officer after he was pulled over in May, and asked to take a breath test.
Aurier will probably not serve the sentence though as it is a convertible sentence which means he can do community service instead of jail time.
The Defender has claimed that he was brutalized by Police and that he will be appealing the decision of the court.
“It was violent,” Aurier said on French television in June. “The police officers got out of the car, insulted me, brutalised me, my lip was smashed.
“What’s even worse is that the police officer said I had elbowed him in the thorax. If I wanted to touch him, I would have punched him in the face. He did though, struck me several times in the face.
“I have nothing to hide in the case, there are at least five or six witnesses that say exactly the same thing I have.”
The PSG player will also be made to pay for Legal fees, moral compensation for the officer affected and also physical compensation.
