Told you they were mental: the Icardis are accused of enslaving their housekeeper
Just when the witchcraft blackmail plot against Paul Pogba was taking centre stage in the macabre psychodrama of French football, resident headcases Wanda and Mauro Icardi are embroiled in an absurd scandal of their own.
The Paris St Germain striker and his wife/agent have been charged with human trafficking after their former housekeeper accused them of enslaving her, forcing her to sleep on the floor of the utility room and go days without food.
The woman, known only as Carmen, says the couple confiscated her phone and passport, failed to pay her for three years, and left her on her own at their house in rural Italy where she ran out of food and was forced to live off old bags of rice for days.
So yeah, just another normal week for the Icardis. Who deny the charges, by the way.
