Injuries have prevented once-promising forward Djibril Cissé from realising his full potential, but problems continue to plague the ex-Liverpool player even outside of football.
At the end of his career Cisse decided to become a DJ, but during his work, he was dishonest about his tax obligations and accumulated a debt of almost half a million pounds, which, according to the Daily Star, and became a reason for problems with the French police.

Prosecutors have charged the former footballer and are now asking the court for a one-year suspended sentence and an £85,000 fine.
Cisse's lawyer Malcom Moldaya said that his client's financial assistants were to blame, who had been dishonest in fulfilling their obligations and tax fraud was out of the question.
Cisse ended his career in the United States in 2021, although he later appeared in Gerard Pique's Royal League.
