Overview

• In June 2023 Mbappé transferred €30,000 each to four brigadiers-chefs and €60,300 to their commander from his Monaco account, totaling €180,300.
• Those funds stemmed from the €500,000 bonus he received from the French Football Federation after France’s 2022 World Cup campaign.
• The Inspection Générale de la Police Nationale opened an internal probe into possible illicit gifts, while the Paris Prosecutor’s Office is investigating disguised work and money laundering.
• Five officers are under interrogation and could face administrative sanctions if they failed to declare the transfers as required by French law.
• Mbappé’s legal team insists the payments were private tokens of gratitude unconnected to any professional obligation or hidden contract.
