I honestly believe it is a coincidence that both incidents happened at same time. These things happen, it is hard for me to believe that Arsenal would frame a player just because he refused to extend his contract with the club. There is no history of the club having done something like this in the past, I don’t think they will start now.

Nah, I'm not actually suggesting that his was framed by Arsenal or Arsenal raised the matter again because he refused to renew after his demands were not met. I think as an Arsenal player that he was, Arsenal didn't want anything that will distract him playing like all these court cases and the rest, so they simply suppressed the case so it doesn't come out in the open like it would have been but now that his no longer an Arsenal player, the club has removed it's hands from the case that's why it out now again.

Arsenal didn't have any hand in that case as many believed they did. The investigation was ongoing and like every other accused persons, you are innocent until proven guilty by a court. Arsenal had a choice of suspending the player or allowing him to continue doing his job. Why will you suspend an innocent Man who hasn't been found guilty?

So for me Arsenal made the best decision by not suspending him. If they had and they player was eventually found innocent at the end of the day, he would have sued the club and it would have cost them millions of pounds. I believed they learned from what happened between Manchester city and Benjamin Mendy. Were Mendy was found not guilty by the court after City suspended him and weren't paying him wages. After the court case, he sued the club and won them in court and big money was paid to him as compensation.
