Overview
- Versailles prosecutors confirmed a criminal investigation for human trafficking and undeclared work and assigned the case to the Saint‑Germain‑en‑Laye research brigade.
- A Colombian family alleges they worked for Hernandez and his wife from September 2024 to November 2025 in multiple roles including cleaning, cooking, childcare, security and caretaking.
- The plaintiffs say they logged roughly 70 to 80 hours per week without paid leave or proper documents for about €2,000 net, often paid in cash, which their lawyer likens to modern slavery.
- Press reports describe confidentiality agreements signed in February 2025 and formal contracts drawn up only in October 2025 shortly before the relationship ended, claims now under review by investigators.
- Hernandez and his wife deny wrongdoing, assert they were manipulated and acted without malicious intent, and additional reported elements such as alleged false passports and weapons remain unverified.
