He is famous for having been involved in the bribery scandal involving Olympique de Marseille and his team US Valenciennes. He and teammates Jorge Burruchaga and Jacques Glassmann were contacted by OM player Jean-Jacques Eydelie, in order to let l'OM win and, more importantly, not to injure any OM player ahead of the UEFA Champions League final.{{cite news|last1=James|first1=Barry|title=Tapie Directly Implicated As Marseille Trial Opens|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/03/14/sports/14iht-tapie.html|accessdate=4 January 2018|work=The New York Times|date=14 March 1995}}{{cite web|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE7D61F3DF931A35754C0A965958260|date=2 July 1993|accessdate=12 March 2007|title=Argentine Charged in Marseille case|work=New York Times}}{{cite web|url=https://www.eurosport.com/football/wenger-slams-tapie_sto817893/story.shtml|title=Wenger slams former Marseille Chairman|date=23 January 2006|accessdate=4 January 2018|work=Eurosport}} He was then suspended for two seasons by the French Football Federation.
