Former Man City star. Benjamin Mendy is selling his £5million Cheshire mansion and chasing up to £10million of club backpay to avoid bankruptcy after being cleared of r@pe. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is seeking a bankruptcy order against the footballer over a nearly £800,000 tax debt, a specialist judge at the High Court was told. The hearing in London today came less than a month after the 29-year-old World Cup winner was cleared of rape and attempted rape at Chester Crown Court. Jacquille Jarrett, representing HMRC, said proceedings at the Insolvency and Companies Court had previously been postponed pending the outcome of the criminal trial and for a settlement of Mr Mendy's debt from backdated salary or the sale of his property. She said: 'There has been no contact from the debtor. The agreement advises that an update would be given to HMRC but no contact was made. 'We look to secure a bankruptcy order today.' Mr. Mendy's accountant, who refused to give reporters his full name, told the hearing the footballer 'was found not guilty in respect of those very serious criminal charges against him'. He said Manchester City had not paid Mr. Mendy, who was not present at Wednesday's hearing, since September 2021.
