He claims that he had contacted a nanny, and to have left his home in Boulogne-Billancourt by leaving her the keys of his accommodation in the mailbox. According to Actu and Le Parisien, the former winger of the XV of France Djibril Camara was arrested and placed in custody Sunday morning while his 7-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter were found by a shopkeeper in the street in pajamas, the night before.

Camara (33 years old, 4 caps) would have gone out in a nightclub with a woman, and did not want his children, whom he had custody for the weekend, to cross her. Le Parisien indicates that the little girl woke up her brother and that the two children, worried not to find their father, would have gone in search of him outside the home.

Camara, passed by the Stade Français and Bayonne during a career marked by several escapades, came out of custody Monday. The former player, who joined the coaching staff of the XV of Senegal in March 2022, must now participate in a parental responsibility course, otherwise, he risks prison and a heavy fine.
