  "account": "Paris Saint-Germain's Qatari owner, Nasser al-Khelaifi, faces a French investigation over allegations of conflict-of-interest, according to prosecutors in the capital on Sunday. The preliminary probe is connected to his dual control of the Champions League winners and broadcaster beIN Media Group, involving a meeting on broadcasting rights with league representatives in July 2024, the prosecutor's office confirmed, citing a report in L'Equipe. Al-Khelaifi, who has led Paris Saint-Germain since their 2011 takeover, has previously faced several legal cases, all of which he has denied. The investigation was initiated in April following a tip-off from the anti-graft group Anticor, with proceedings overseen by the anti-corruption and finance police. In February 2025, he was also charged with complicity in abuse of power related to shareholder voting at a company. However, charges of corruption over Qatar's bids for the 2017 and 2019 World Athletics Championships were dismissed by France's Court of Cassation in February 2023.",
