In a significant legal victory, former Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has won his battle against the club to reclaim a substantial portion of his unpaid wages. The dispute stemmed from wages withheld during his suspension as he faced serious rape charges. Having been acquitted of all charges earlier this year, Mendy pursued legal action to recover the earnings, arguing that the withheld wages were unjust. The court’s decision marks a notable triumph for Mendy, who recently returned to professional football with French side Lorient.
