Samir Nasri Questioned in French Money Laundering Probe, Released Without Charge
Former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri was held by French police for around 10 hours this week. He was questioned over suspected money laundering linked to an organized drug trafficking network before being released the same evening without charge. Investigators from the Financial Investigation and Research Brigade are examining Nasri’s past role as a shareholder in XS nightclub near Paris. Authorities suspect the venue may have been used to launder funds for convicted trafficker Hakim Berrebouh, known as “Le Marcassin,” and his associate. Nasri has denied any wrongdoing. The judicial investigation remains open, as French law allows custody for questioning without a formal charge at this stage. After winning Premier League titles with Arsenal and Manchester City, Nasri retired and now works as a television pundit in France.
