Summoned to the police station this Thursday morning in Paris, and while his neighbors denounce repeated evenings at his home, in Saint-Germain


He "assumes" and "apologizes".

This Thursday, the eldest son of "Mister George" - George Weah, former star player of PSG crowned golden ball 1995 and current president of Liberia - receives us at his home in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines) for s 'explain.

The enfant terrible addresses his neighbors, whom he has often disturbed by parties organized at his home despite the confinement.

The same morning, George Weah Jr went to explain himself to the police station of the 8th arrondissement of Paris following his arrest for having participated in a clandestine party.

A “closed” case, the Liberian embassy told us in the early evening.

Louis Vuitton beanie screwed to the head, suit top and Balenciaga sneakers on the feet, George Weah Jr is elegant but seems tired.

He defends himself, in good French, tinged with a refined English accent.

The room in his living room is plunged into darkness.

The floor has retained the scars of the watered evenings and the strobe still hangs from the ceiling.

Interview.

How were your exchanges with the police officers this Thursday morning?

GEORGE WEAH JR.

I explained myself in the company of my ambassador.

We discussed what happened in Paris, but the question of my diplomatic immunity was not raised.

The police were not correct.

Besides, it was not an evening.

For my first outing in Paris, I simply went to join a footballer friend who has just signed for a club.

He was the one who rented this apartment on Airbnb.

But yes, I'm at fault for going there.

Several sources have however confirmed to us that you are using your diplomatic immunity to continue partying at home in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

The problem is not my diplomatic immunity.

I decline my identity like everyone else.

It has been a very long time since I needed to use it.

But yes, I've done it before, here and around the world.

However, I do not believe I am above the law.

What do you tell your neighbors about the evenings?

I apologize to the neighborhood for the noise.

It will not happen again […] it is not okay to disturb the quality of life of others.

This curfew situation is very complicated to live with, I am not the only one to organize rallies.

My neighbors, for example, make barbecues.

Except I don't spy on them.

What I don't accept is that you create a character who is haughty, who is disrespectful, who is arrogant.

I am a good living, of course, but social and positive.

My father is known to be a very humble and modest person.

Did he call you about this?

Of course, he's very angry, very angry.

My family is very unhappy with this situation.

The situation works against a reputation that has always been very clean.

These are things that we want to avoid at all costs.
