🚨 FFF takes Mbappé racism case to court | OneFootball

The French Football Federation described Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla’s racist comments against Kylian Mbappé as “aberrant and unacceptable.”

In a statement, the FFF announced that it will file a complaint with the prosecutor’s office to begin legal proceedings.

The federation said the remarks were “criminal and condemnable” and demanded that they be prosecuted “here as anywhere else.” The FFF thus voiced its support for its captain and the rest of the squad in light of what happened.

The French body also extended its support to “all victims” of that kind of comment. The FFF underlined its commitment to fighting racism and any form of discrimination in football.

In its statement, the federation stressed that the insults go beyond the individual. “It is our country that is being insulted,” it said, referring to the attack on Mbappé as captain of the national team.

The complaint adds a legal avenue to a controversy that had already prompted a direct response from Mbappé himself on social media. The case is now in the hands of the French prosecutor’s office.
