Kylian Mbappé, cited by the Swedish press in a rape case, assures that he has nothing to reproach himself for, according to his lawyer Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, guest on BFMTV this Wednesday morning.
According to four Swedish media, Kylian Mbappé is the target of an investigation for rape and sexual assault for alleged acts in a Stockholm hotel last Thursday. Guest of BFMTV this Wednesday, her lawyer Me Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard insisted that she had not yet received any complaints, while the prosecutor in charge of the case did not disclose her name in her press release published Tuesday. While waiting for possible progress, the player returned to Madrid where he trained with Real this Tuesday. According to his lawyer, he was stunned when he discovered the articles in the Swedish press.
“He is very serene”
“Obviously,” she assures. “He can’t imagine for a single second that a complaint has been filed and targets him. He has nothing to reproach himself for and doesn’t even see what we’re talking about.” She insists: “Tells him very clearly: ‘I have nothing to reproach myself for’. He lives in a different way from us, obviously. He has a sanitary cordon around him, a kind of bubble. He is in a context which means that we avoid taking risks He is very exposed, his close entourage knows it and he himself knows it that everything is in place so that this type of situation does not happen. .”
Me Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard maintains her line of defense against the very protective entourage of the 2018 world champion. “He has a cordon santé around him, always there, objectively, that excludes a lot of things,” she believes. -She. When he says: ‘I have nothing to reproach myself for’, I know that we have in our bag – if he one day has to explain himself to an investigative service – (things to) explain and attest to a certain number of things. The bubble is there to protect him from the risks inherent to his notoriety. We are talking about a young man of 25 years old, he may have an extraordinary maturity and mentality – and I am extremely admiring – but do you realize the media outburst and this kind of outpouring that is totally detrimental to his honor?
“It’s still certainly complicated to live with”
She reveals the last words entrusted to the player on Tuesday. “If he can stay focused, play, train and score goals, well done,” she adds. “That’s what I told him yesterday (Tuesday), it was the terms of our last telephone exchange: ‘now we have to go play and try to refocus’. He knows what he did and not done. He has his honor on his side.”
The player’s lawyer concludes on his state of mind. “He is very calm because he knows what he did not do,” persists the council. “He follows this surge from afar even if he is a little protected from it. It is inevitably impactful. I repeat, he is 25 years old. An accusation of this type… Even if we do not know if it is aimed at him, the The media does not hesitate to say that it is aimed at him. From that moment on, it is still certainly complicated to live with even if I am not in his head. I wish him to succeed in scoring the most. possible goals in the next match.” It is scheduled for Saturday at Celta Vigo in La Liga (9 p.m.).
