Bayern Munich Legend Franck Ribery Denies Involvement in Epstein Files, Lawyer Vows Legal Action

Former French international and Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery has been embroiled in controversy after his name appeared in the Epstein files, triggering a social media debate. The files exposed alleged connections to the late convicted offender Epstein's network.

A 38-page letter listed numerous names, including Ribery, in relation to world prostitution allegations. Ribery's lawyer, Carlo Alberto, vehemently denied the accusations, labeling the reports as false and misleading.

Alberto emphasized the need to protect Ribery's reputation and family, stating that freedom of expression does not justify spreading defamatory material. Ribery took to social media to sarcastically respond to the situation, indirectly referencing past Ballon d'Or rankings.
