Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Hernandez has been accused of human trafficking and illegal employment in a complaint filed against the player and his wife at a court in Versailles. The complaint comes from a Colombian family who worked for Hernandez and an investigation has now been launched. Hernandez joined PSG in 2023 after spells with Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid and was part of France's 2018 World Cup-winning squad.Hernandez and wife Victoria Triay employed a Colombian family for over a year from September 2024 and November 2025. The family consisted of a mother, father and three children who held various jobs with the PSG star, according to Paris Match. Hernandez is accused of employing the family without work permits or contracts to perform roles including security, cleaning, cooking, and childcare. The complaint also states that the family were not registered with France’s social security system and all payments were made in cash. They were also expected to work long hours, ranging from 72-84-hour weeks, and had no days off. There is also an allegation that the family were given false Spanish identities and subsequently signed non-disclosure agreements in February 2025.Hernandez has issued a statement in response to the allegations, per Reuters. The PSG star and wife Triay said: "We opened our home and our lives to people who presented themselves as friends, who sought our kindness and for whom we had genuine affection. They shared our lives with respect and dignity. We helped them, supported them and believed them when they told us they were in the process of regularising their situation. That trust was betrayed."The couple also said claimed they had been manipulated by emotional stories and acted with good faith and kindness, adding: "We acted as human beings - and learned, painfully, that compassion can be exploited."Looking for smarter football bets?
