Biathlete Julia Simone was released from custody in a fraud case
Biathlon World Cup winner Julia Simone was released from custody in a fraud case. L’Équipe reports.
Lawyer Christian Borel said this is normal procedure under French law. It is noted that the best biathlete in the world was interrogated. She disputed the charges against her. “Now Julia intends to concentrate on the start of the season,” he emphasized.
Simon’s detention became known earlier on October 24. It is assumed that Simone made purchases worth between one thousand and two thousand euros using other people’s credit cards. It is noted that the interrogation will be held later. The arrest was made in Albertville – a statement was filed by her teammate, Olympic champion Justine Brezaz-Boucher.
Simone is a two-time world champion. Last season she won the overall World Cup.
