Benjamin Mendy - City lose case and Mendy awarded £11m in back pay (p168)

[BerkshireBlue]

Yet he admitted it during his trial.

Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy to spend two weeks in prison

The footballer appeared in court on Friday on four rape charges and one sexual assault charge

"The footballer was also initially charged with breaking his bail conditions following his arrest last year but that charge was withdrawn in court."

The same teammates who supported him, some of them even financially, while he was facing trial!

Now he's bringing the 115 charges into it, FFS.

When £10m is on the line, loyalty will often go missing.

incorrect he has never been charged with breaching bail conditions

That’s because it’s not an offence.

In black and white it clearly says he was charged and then it was withdrawn, lol. Exactly what you said didn’t happen in a previous post!

There are a few things you are missing here. The question isn't why he was remanded to custody - it's was he. He was so he couldn't play for City so why the heck would they pay him?

Further the original bail conditions basically also made it impossible to play for City. Conceptually, morally and legally I cannot see any way that it can be argued that this is City's problem.

If anything he should be suing GMP.

What a complete prick - not only is he throwing his teammates under the bus, his defence is "well everyone was doing it so why am I the only one in the wrong?"

The mentality of a child - immature twat

Not complying with bail conditions isn’t an offence, or at least it wasn’t when I last checked.

If you don’t comply with conditions then bail can be withdrawn (as it was here) or more onerous conditions can be imposed (usually a tag) and committing an offence whilst on bail is viewed extremely dimly.

Failing to surrender to your bail at the relevant time ( e.g. your court appearance) is an offence (which did not apply here) but otherwise there are no offences under the Bail Act 1976 for individuals who are subject to bail.

So there is no gateway to charge someone with breaching a bail condition.

He is mixing things up. He did attend some lockdown parties and so did some other players. But no one else was accused of sex attacks apart from his fixer pal..and the less said about him the better.

He can say what he wants about other players and what they were up to. The facts are they weren't accused and arrested and under bail conditions. They played and did their jobs.
I'd be surprised if legally the club hasn't paid him what they had to.

depends what the contract says. I'm not going to second guess that
