In a nationwide operation, several sporting agents were arrested on Tuesday facing accusations of practicing without the required licenses. According to Actu17 and L’Équipe, among those detained was John Valovic-Galtier, the adopted son of former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Christophe Galtier.
The investigation into John Valovic-Galtier’s activities gained momentum when a licensed sports agent, believed to be former Marseille general manager Jean-Pierre Bernès, alerted the authorities to his actions. Bernès accused Valovic-Galtier and his associate, David Venditelli, of disguising their agent work under the guise of a career counseling company, Score Agencies. This agency was directly involved in the transfer of Andy Delort from Montpellier to Nice.
The judicial information website, Actu 17, also reported that players who had dealings with Score Agencies, for which Christophe Galtier’s adopted son played a counseling role, might potentially be questioned by the authorities. Among the notable names mentioned in the course of this investigation are Alexandre Lacazette from Olympique Lyonnais (OL), Jordan Ferri, Joris Chotard from Montpellier, and Romain Del Castillo from Brest.
