It appears that Bernard Tapie, after spending four days in police custody, has been indicted for organized gang fraud. In an attempt to explain his situation, he appeared on France 2, and according to the description, he seemed notably nervous during the interview.
One notable part of the interview involved Tapie discussing football and claiming a conspiracy. He mentioned an incident related to the victory of the Football World Cup in 1998, won by the French team in which more than half were from Marseille. Tapie claimed to have tried to secure an invitation for the final but was unsuccessful. He further stated that Didier Deschamps, when receiving the trophy, allegedly said, “we owe this World Cup to Bernard Tapie.”
It’s not uncommon for individuals facing legal issues to try to redirect attention or offer alternative explanations for their situation. The interview seems to have been marked by tension and Tapie’s apparent discomfort in addressing the questions posed by David Pujadas. The unfolding events will likely shed more light on the legal proceedings and the circumstances surrounding Bernard Tapie’s indictment.
