Tickets for Paris Saint-Germain matches inevitably attract the attention of criminals.

Details: According to Le Parisien, in early March, Paris cyber police (BL2C) closed the book on an investigation that stunned the fan community with its scale: in just two years, a scammer managed to deceive nearly 2,000 people.

The main suspect in the case is 22-year-old Ainis D. from the Oise department. Using the social network TikTok, the young man set up a streamlined system for selling counterfeit tickets, not only for PSG home games at the Parc des Princes, but also for away matches. Over two years, his account amassed more than 13,000 followers who trusted the seller.

The criminal operation was brought down after, on January 28, PSG management officially filed a complaint with the police. During questioning, Ainis D. fully admitted his guilt. He now faces charges including fraud, use of forged documents, and money laundering.

Reminder: PSG leaders underwent medical tests.
