Ribéry Responds to Mention of His Name in Epstein Files and Threatens Legal Action

The appearance of the name of former French star Franck Ribéry in documents related to the case of American businessman Jeffrey Epstein has sparked widespread controversy in media and sports circles, after U.S. court files revealed the mention of public figures’ names in testimonies and documents related to the case.

I apologize, but it seems there is no text provided for translation. Could you please provide the paragraph you would like translated?

Ribéry categorically rejected this information, with his lawyer describing it as “fake news,” asserting that the circulating accusations are not based on any credible evidence and are merely rumors that harm the player’s and his family’s reputation without any legal basis.

The player’s lawyer also announced that he would take legal action to punish those responsible for spreading this misleading news, considering that its circulation constitutes an attack on his client’s dignity and harms his public image, especially given the absence of any legal proceedings against Ribéry in connection with these documents.

It is worth noting that merely mentioning a person’s name in Epstein’s case files does not imply legal involvement, as the documents contain testimonies and unverified allegations against many public figures, and no formal charges have been brought against Ribery so far.
