The attack took place last Thursday after a team dinner at a restaurant near Boulogne. Diall was to take Hamraoui out of the event and another teammate.

As soon as they arrived at Hamraoui’s house, two masked men approached the car, pulled her out of the car, and beat her to the feet with iron bars for two minutes. After a while, they escaped.

The three-time Champions League winner ended up injuring her hands and feet in the hospital.

“We have been informed of Aminata Diall’s arrest. Paris St. Germain is fundamentally against any violence, “the Paris club said in a statement.
–
Despite the fact that Diall’s involvement in planning Thursday’s attack has not yet been proven, many people compare the case to the well-known attack on figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, who was hit in the knee by an unknown man in 1994 with a telescopic baton.

It turned out that the attack was co-organized by her rival Tonya Harding, who wanted to secure an easy path to the championship and the Olympics.
–
Whether Diall was trying to copy this plan is now the subject of speculation. Police have not yet stated what the motive for the attack on Hamraoui was.
–
Harding’s unfair tactics, however, did not work. Her opponent at the Olympics finished second, while she finished eighth. When she finally admitted that she and her husband had planned the attack, she was sentenced to three years in prison with suspended sentence. She was never allowed to compete in figure skating competitions.
