French National Olympic Committee boss starts lawsuit over ‘‘psychological violence’‘

Brigitte Henriques is suing the secretary general of the French National Olympic Committee for psychological violence.

Brigitte Henriques is suing Didier Seminet for psychological violence. Henrique was elected president of the committee last year. Seminett was dismissed last month. The reasons for Seminets dismissal have yet to be revealed. The sports minister ordered an investigation into the French Football Federation after its president, Noël Le Graët, faced claims of sexual harassment.
