Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla is considering filing a complaint against Kylian Mbappé for slandering and defaming him, triggering a possible legal battle between the two.

The potential complaint by Celeste Amarilla against Kylian Mbappé

Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla is at the center of controversy after making racially charged insults against French footballer Kylian Mbappé. Following these events, Amarilla, through her lawyer, has confirmed that she is evaluating filing a complaint against the player for slander and defamation.

Reactions and possible legal consequences

In an interview, the legislator's lawyer noted that, if this dual charge is accepted in Paraguay, the maximum penalty could reach three years in prison, thus meeting the conditions of the extradition treaty between France and Paraguay. Mbappé, on his part, labeled Amarilla as a despicable woman unworthy of her position, triggering a potential legal escalation between both parties.

Threats and reactions in the political sphere

Faced with the possibility of appearing before justice in Paraguay, the senator's stance will depend on developments in France. Amarilla's statements have generated reactions in the leadership of Paraguay and France, with Emmanuel Macron backing Mbappé and Paraguayan President Santiago Peña distancing the senator's words from the country's values.
