Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla is considering suing Kylian Mbappé after accusing him of slandering and defaming her, triggering a potential legal battle between the two.

The Possible Lawsuit by Celeste Amarilla against Kylian Mbappé

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

Reactions and Potential Legal Consequences

In an interview, the legislator's lawyer indicated that if this dual indictment were admitted 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, called Amarilla a contemptible woman unworthy of her position, triggering a possible legal escalation between them.

Faced with the possibility of facing justice in Paraguay, the senator's stance will depend on events in France. Amarilla's statements have generated reactions from the heads of state of Paraguay and France, with Emmanuel Macron supporting Mbappé and Paraguayan President Santiago Peña disassociating the senator's words from the country's values.
