Liberia President George Weah’s son was arrested last week in Paris for breaking Covid-19 curfew rules with a raucous house party. French police intervened at an apartment in an upscale neighbourhood of the capital and questioned George Weah Jr, who brandished his diplomatic passport, claiming diplomatic immunity.
French police visited an apartment on Avenue du Président Wilson, in the posh Alma-Marceau neighbourhood, at 3:20am early last week, following reports of excessive noise originating from a house party.
Officers discovered eight people partying at the apartment, rented through AirBnB, and cautioned them for not respecting Covid-19 measures. A 6pm curfew is currently in place across France, as part of restrictions designed to halt the spread of coronavirus.
Amongst the revellers was George Weah Jr, the 33-year-old son of Liberia’s President George Weah, who became famous in France during an illustrious football career in which he won the prestigious Ballon d’Or.
George Weah Jr was reportedly very drunk at the illegal party and following questioning by police officers brought out his diplomatic passport, claiming immunity from prosecution, according to a police source cited by Le Parisien.
He was arrested for insulting the police and resisting arrest and taken to the police station in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, then later released.
The French press reported that Paris authorities would be verifying the status of young Weah’s immunity. He is expected to appear before French justice on Thursday.
It is not the first time George Weah Jr, also an ex-footballer who previously played in Bulgaria, has caused a stir over his boisterous parties. Since the first coronavirus lockdown in France, he has hosted several gatherings, much to the chagrin of his neighbours in the tony Paris suburb of Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
Weah Jr is something of a party animal and likes to invite his friends over for champagne, jacuzzi, loud music and laughing gas, according to Le Parisien.
His 120m2 apartment with a large 50m2 balcony is rented for about 3,500 euros per month in the middle of the exclusive Pereire neighbourhood.
He is no stranger to police visits during his blowout parties, but each time he reportedly brandished his diplomatic passport.
