Lucas Hernandez responds to accusation of human trafficking

This Wednesday, it was reported that Lucas Hernandez and his wife Victoria Triay are accused by a Colombian family of "human trafficking and undeclared work." This has unfortunately sparked numerous reactions. The 29-year-old defender of Paris Saint-Germain and the French National Team responded via a written statement with his partner.

Hernandez "We helped, supported, and believed them when they assured us they were in the process of regularizing their situation."

"We opened our home and our lives to people who presented themselves as friends, who sought our kindness and for whom we had genuine affection. These people shared our lives with respect and dignity. We helped, supported, and believed them when they assured us they were in the process of regularizing their situation. This trust was betrayed. Unfortunately, we are not the first to experience such a situation. Like many others before us, we were manipulated by emotionally charged stories and false assurances. We never acted with malicious intent or in disregard of the law."

Hernandez "We call for decency, restraint, and respect."

"What makes this situation even more trying is seeing an act of trust and humanity turned into public attacks and accusations. This ordeal has been deeply painful for our family. This matter is now being handled through the appropriate legal channels, where the facts—and not the narratives spread on social media—have their place. We call for decency, restraint, and respect. We will not further engage in online speculation."

We suspect that the situation is not simple, and one must always be cautious of an accusation before making a judgment. We cannot say that the defense of Hernandez and his wife is necessarily entirely true. However, it should be heard. There is a right to defend oneself and the presumption of innocence.

Justice will do its work, and the process must be respected. With a certain discretion in the meantime. We will see the verdict. Until then, we hope the player will not be too disturbed.
