RMC Sport reported on Thursday that this decision to put Al-Khelaïfi under formal investigation has sparked a strong reaction within Qatar. Moreover, the report mentions that Qatari officials threaten to withdraw investments from France, including BeIN Sports and PSG.
“The Qataris are tired of all these abuses,” a source close to the government said. “Fake legal actions, blackmail, constant criticism, blaming them for every problem in France – every time they try to help, it’s seen as ‘soft power.’ It’s just plain abuse, and everyone is fed up.”
