the player’s lawyer breaks the silence

“This is not my news at all today”said Delphine Verheyden, earlier this Tuesday, about the rape accusations hanging over her client, Kylian Mbappé, according to the Swedish press. Surprising? Yes and no. Everything was explained when we learned that it is not his historical lawyer but Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, a criminal specialist, who in fact represents the Real Madrid player in this case. Which Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard spoke this Tuesday, in the 8 p.m. broadcast of TF1 and via AFP. “He is particularly serene but also stunned to see this media hype, he does not understand at all what can be blamed on him in any way”assures Me Canu-Bernard, evoking a Kylian Mbappé who remains “absolute serenity”.

The 25-year-old player, also in conflict with PSG over unpaid salaries and bonuses, “Moreover, he went to training (at Real Madrid), because he has absolutely nothing to reproach himself for”promises the lawyer, who has not been informed of anything by the Swedish justice system. “We are told of a complaint, of a complaint being filed, but we do not know against whom. A complaint does not prove the truth, does not prove anyone and once again, I don’t even know if the complaint is aimed at him.further explains Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, who has also announced that she will file a complaint “in the next few hours” for slanderous denunciation, without specifying against whom.

Last but not least, the lawyer of the former Paris Saint-Germain player details the reasons why her client is so calm and why he cannot have anything to reproach himself for. In fact, he would never have been alone during that famous evening of October 10 in Stockholm. “He is never alone, he is never exposed to finding himself in a situation where there would be risk taking for him. As a result, this completely excludes the possibility of any wrongdoing on his part. That, I can tell you, is an absolute certainty.” Not summoned for the gathering of the French team and the matches against Israel (4-1) and Belgium (2-1), Kylian Mbappé spent several days in Sweden then in Corsica at the end of last week, before joining Madrid on Monday and to resume, as planned, training this Tuesday at Valdebebas, at the Real training center.
