PARIS (Reuters) - The French football federation's president Noel Le Graet, who is under legal investigation for moral and sexual harassment and stepped back amid criticism of his governance, totally failed in his duty to represent the body, the Sports Minister said on Friday.

Earlier this week, the Paris prosecutor's office opened an investigation into harassment against Le Graet, who has denied any wrongdoing.
