According to reports from “Le Parisien”, a 22-year-old man has been arrested after defrauding thousands of Paris Saint-Germain fans by selling them fake match tickets.
The suspect, identified as Ainis D., was detained by the Cyber Crime Unit after organizing a fraud scheme through TikTok, where he used accounts like “vendor.parisien” to sell counterfeit tickets.
Investigators say his activity began in August 2024 and affected around 2,000 victims, generating at least 40,000 euros in illegal profits. The tickets sold did not allow fans to enter the stadium.
The case came to light after Paris Saint-Germain filed a complaint in January, which led to the launch of investigations and his subsequent arrest in the Oise region.
According to sources, the suspect has confessed to the crime, while authorities believe he may have been helped by his brother, who is currently on the run.
He now faces several serious charges, including fraud, forgery of documents and money laundering, and legal proceedings have begun.
