Ivory Coast international Serge Aurier has denied any involvement in crime following implication that warrants a court session.
Aurier allegedly assaulted a police officer after his car was stopped shortly after he left a nightclub but the player has denied doing wrong.
His solicitor claims Aurier had to receive medical attention and accused the media of delivering inaccurate accounts of what took place.
“Serge Aurier strongly denies the charges against him,” she told Le Parisien. “He made a complaint over police violence and was seen by a doctor over two injuries.
“The hype around this case has made it very difficult, especially reading inaccurate stories concerning his blood alcohol level or his detainment in a drunk tank. We must remember that, before his appearance before the criminal court on September 26, he is presumed innocent.
“We have two versions today: that of the police officers and that of the accused. He said he never refused to comply [with their instructions].
“From the beginning of the process, he has been determined, constant and precise in his statements. He seems especially calm to me, despite the fatigue.
“A number of inaccuracies have been reported by the press on this matter. He considers it an injustice, and he and his family have been particularly affected.”
