Footballer, Farid Melali was arrested for allegedly masturbating in public at France.

The Algerian and Angers winger is reportedly doing it for the second time and will be questioned by the police for indecent exposure.

Farid Melali was arrested after his neighbour lodged a complaint of him displaying his genitals while peering into a female neighbour’s flat from the garden of his building.

The 22-year-old on interrogation admitted his inappropriate behavior but said he thought he was alone in the building.

Melali recently signed a contract extension until 2023 with his club earlier.

The Ligue 1 player’s lawyer, Sandra Chirac Kollarik, told Ouest-France that the footballer has apologized to the young women for his inappropriate act.

“Farid El Melali was heard by the Angers Police this Wednesday morning about acts committed during the recent period of confinement, which he acknowledged, and about which he had already been interviewed before being summoned to court.

She added that Melali had answered the necessary checks in order for his hearing to be closed quickly.

“He renews his sincerest apologies to the women he may have upset with inappropriate attitudes.”

Reacting to the latest incident, Angers President, Fabrice Favetto-Bon said the player’s apology has been heard and his behavior does not conform to the values of the club.

“This type of behaviour, pending the decision of the courts, does not conform with the values of the club and our requirement of players to be examples. The process is ongoing.”

El Melali has been released but will face trial to admission of guilt.
