“I hope that, thanks to this decision, Patrice Evra finally understands that he is not above the law and that we cannot abandon our wife and children overnight. Even more so when they met when he was 15 years old and she followed him all over the world to support his football career,”Nathalie Dubois, a civil lawyer, told the uncoveredug source
Meanwhile, Evra’s lawyer, Me Jérome Bursican, said his client disputes the facts: “Mr. Patrice Evra filed an appeal knowing that he had provided his wife with a flat, a house with a swimming pool in the south of France, and had lent her almost 2 million euros for her daily life. A sum she refuses to pay back”.
In conclusion, this is not the first time Evra has been in trouble with the law. He was already convicted by the Paris police court for a homophobic insult in February 2023.
