…Former Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy on Wednesday won the majority of his case against the Premier League club for over 11 million pounds ($14.2 million) in unpaid wages.
The France international filed a claim against Manchester City last year, seeking unpaid wages from when the club stopped paying him in September 2021, shortly after he was charged with sexual offences, until the end of his contract in June 202
Mendy was acquitted of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in January 2023, following a trial at Chester Crown Court. He was found not guilty of one count of rape and one of attempted rape after a retrial.
The 30-year-old argued City unlawfully deducted wages that he was due under his contract, saying in a witness statement that he had been promised he would be paid after he was cleared.
City’s lawyers, however, said Mendy was not paid because he was not able to perform his duties as he was held in custody before his trial for breaching his bail conditions.
