Mendy Wins Legal Battle Against Man City
Former Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has secured a partial victory in his legal dispute with the club. A UK court has ruled that the French international is entitled to receive unpaid wages from the period following his arrest in 2021 until the end of his contract in 2023.
Mendy was acquitted of multiple sexual assault charges earlier this year. The court found that Man City’s decision to suspend his wages during this period was not fully justified.
While Mendy has won a significant portion of his claim, the full amount awarded has not been disclosed. The ruling marks a significant development in the case and highlights the complex legal issues surrounding athlete contracts and allegations of misconduct.
