Enquête choc sur les abus sexuels dans le football. Comment protéger les enfants ? – 01/10
Summary
L'After Foot receives journalists Thomas Rabineau and Fabien Touati to discuss their book "Dans la gueule du loup," an investigation into sexual violence against young players in French football. They analyze the systemic impunity of predatory recruiters like Ahmed Guédinej, who exploited vulnerable youth for career advancement while club presidents remained silent due to financial and reputational fears.
