PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been handed preliminary charges from an investigation into possible corruption, a judicial official has told The Associated Press. The person was not authorized to speak publicly as the probe was ongoing and said the activities were not related to the Ligue 1 club but to Al-Khelaifi's links to a French businessman. The official says Al-Khelaifi was handed preliminary charges of complicity in the alleged buying of a vote and harming of freedom to vote, and of complicity in abuse of power to the detriment of the Lagardere group. Al-Khelaifi has not been placed under judicial supervision. He denies wrongdoing.
