A Paris St.-Germain women’s soccer player was released from police custody without charges on Thursday, one day after she was arrested as part of the investigation into a violent attack on one of her teammates by masked men wielding a metal bar.
The player, Aminata Diallo, had her custody extended by 24 hours on Wednesday evening by a French prosecutor, and was subjected to additional questioning on Thursday about the incident, in which her teammate Kheira Hamraoui was pulled from a car and beaten on her way home from a team dinner last week.
Diallo had been in police custody for about 36 hours.
