Kylian Mbappé, Mohamed Sanhadji and French investigators
14 October 2026
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé was reportedly questioned by French police on 30 September in connection with a corruption investigation involving former national-team security chief Mohamed Sanhadji. The allegations described in the report concern Sanhadji rather than Mbappé himself.
Reporting attributed to L’Équipe says investigators are examining Sanhadji’s outside security work, financial dealings and alleged use of official influence. Mbappé reportedly paid Sanhadji more than €60,000 in 2023. Being questioned does not establish wrongdoing by Mbappé, and no accusation against the player is identified in the supplied article.
