Vinci SA said Monday that its construction subsidiary has been
summoned to a French court over charges relating to a historic
complaint about working conditions at its sites in Qatar.
The French infrastructure company said its Construction Grands
Projets subsidiary, which first received a complaint in 2015 that
was dismissed in 2018, has been summoned by an investigating judge
to appear in court on Wednesday.
Vinci said the projects awarded to QDVC, in which Construction
Grands Projets holds a 49% stake, aren't part of the FIFA World Cup
taking place in Qatar this year.
"These projects were entrusted to QDVC before the competition
was awarded to Qatar and mainly relate to transport
infrastructures," Vinci said in a statement.
"Vinci did not sign any contract with the Supreme Committee for
delivery and legacy, and has not built any stadium or hotel in
Qatar," it added.
The company said it has and will continue to cooperate with
authorities and provided information on its activities in Qatar,
and that it will aim to show that the allegations are unfair.
