He spent a decade working for Al-Khelaifi, starting back in the days when the Qatari billionaire was still a professional tennis player. Slowly but surely, the two men grew closer until Karmoussi became tasked with clearing Al-Khelaifi’s Parisian home of any documents or items that could hurt the boss in case of a police search – something they were always wary of. And in all those years, the Moroccan worked without ever signing a contract of being officially employed by the billionaire. It was a relationship based on the utmost trust but also on fear.From 2011 to 2015, the relationship was mainly harmonious, but then it started to unravel for Karmoussi. The boss began to become more and more demanding, the working hours got ever so longer, and tasks got harder every day.##NAJAVA_MECA_7125709##Karmoussi’s solicitor went public in the reputable French daily Liberation with the claims that Al-Khelaifi has even made direct threats to Karmoussi’s safety. One time, the boss summoned his assistant from another city to return to the boss’ residence and burn sensitive documents in the bathtub, adding that “he could be wiped off the face of the earth in an instant”.These severe accusations will not help the already-strained relations around Parc des Princes.

They have changed lawyers more times than they have changed their stories and their lies. This is media manipulation. I’m just amazed that so many people think their lies and contradictions would be believable – but that’s the media world we find ourselves in today. Justice will take its course – I don’t have time to talk about the petty professional criminals.” Hicham Karmoussi, ancien assistant personnel de Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, a porté plainte pour travail dissimulé et harcèlement contre le président du PSG ! 🚨🇶🇦(@RMCsport / @BFMTV) pic.twitter.com/uvineYJa4W— MercaFoot (@MercaFoot_) March 24, 2023 According to sources close to the Parisian president’s entourage, Karmoussi has “tried to blackmail Nasser Al-Khelaifi” recently.PSG, Al-Khelaifi and Qatar have been doing their best to improve the image and reputation of the Arabic country.
