Kylian Mbappé’s lawyer, Maître Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, spoke on TF1’s news broadcast this Tuesday, addressing the allegations against the player.
The Mbappé camp has taken control of the narrative. The lawyer clarified Mbappé’s position, denying any involvement in the rape case in Sweden. « We’ve heard about a complaint, a filing, but as of now, we don’t even know who it’s against, » she stated. « A complaint does not establish truth, nor does it prove anything. And I don’t even know if the complaint targets him. »
She assured that Mbappé is never in situations that could expose him to risk, which, according to her, rules out any inappropriate actions on his part. « He is in absolute serenity, » she said, adding that he is bewildered by the media frenzy and doesn’t understand what he is being accused of, even remotely.
The Swedish justice system has opened an investigation, and Mbappé’s lawyer promised full cooperation, stating that if necessary, Mbappé would present himself to the authorities. She also confirmed that Mbappé intends to file a defamation lawsuit to combat the false accusations made against him.
