Bruno Martini prosecuted for “corruption of a minor” and “recording of child pornography images” – France

Bruno Martini, president of the National Handball League, 52, is being prosecuted for “corruption of minors” and “recording of child pornography images”, according to our colleagues from France Info who quote a judicial source.

Two years of investigation

The investigation began after the complaint of a 13-year-old teenager in the summer of 2020. “Accompanied by his mother, he explains to the police that he was approached on a social network by a man who led him to exchange with him several selfies and videos of a sexual nature. The man had even offered him an appointment and paid for a taxi to bring him to him, ”says France Info. The teenager turned back at the last moment.

The former goalkeeper of the “Barjots” was finally arrested Monday morning. After searches in his two homes (Paris and Montpellier) and two days in police custody, he was released on Tuesday evening. Bruno Martini will probably appear soon on prior admission of guilt.
