Aurier faces assault trial
Print Edition
PARIS Saint-Germain star Serge Aurier will be tried in September for an alleged assault on a police officer, a judicial source said yesterday.
The 23-year-old Ivory Coast international defender denies the charge and has himself filed a complaint against the police for violence, the source said. Aurier is alleged to have “insulted and hit a police officer”, a police source said. The incident occurred as Aurier was challenged by police because his Porsche Cayenne was causing traffic problems after he left a nightclub. Aurier was “aggressive” and “quite contemptuous” when police tried to breathalyze him. It was then he allegedly “elbowed” the policeman in the throat, the source said. Reigning French champion PSG briefly suspended Aurier in February after he appeared in a video on social media insulting coach Laurent Blanc. Aurier later admitted he had made a “stupid mistake” and apologized. Aurier was been a key element of PSG’s drive towards a fourth consecutive French league title and the Champions League quarterfinals in the just-completed season.
