Benjamin Mendy launches a 'multi-million pound' lawsuit against Man City for unpaid wages after they stopped his £100,000-per-week salary when he was charged with rape and sexual assault - before he was cleared

Benjamin Mendy has gone to war with Manchester City after launching a 'multi-million-pound' claim against them over unpaid wages. 

Mendy was accused of raping a 24-year-old woman in a bedroom at his home in Cheshire in October 2020. He was also charged with the attempted rape of a 29-year-old woman at his home two years earlier.

Mendy, who continually denied both charges and was found not guilty by the jury at Chester Crown Court earlier this year, saw Man City stop paying his £100,000-a-week wages in September 2021. 

Now, according to Sky Sports, Mendy has opened a 'multi-million pound claim' against City for wages owed.
