As part of the investigation into allegations of discrimination at OGC Nice, Christophe Galtier and his adopted son John Valovic-Galtier were placed in police custody in Nice on Friday.

A new development has emerged in the case of racism allegations in Nice. The prosecutor of the Republic announced on Friday that Christophe Galtier and his son John Valovic-Galtier were placed in police custody at 8:45 a.m. in Nice as part of the investigation.

The Parisian coach had been summoned by the investigators on Friday morning regarding the investigation opened for “discrimination based on alleged race or membership in a religion.” He is now being questioned by the judicial police in Nice.


Police custody, a measure that restricts liberty, allows investigators to have the person at their disposal for a limited period of 24 hours. At the end of this period, the person can either be released or brought before the court to decide on any further legal proceedings.
