Kylian Mbappé provided roughly £160,000 ($211,300) to Mohamed 'Momo' Sanhadji, then the French Football Federation's (FFF) logistics and security manager, according to L'Équipe. The sum comprised a €60,300 (£51,300 or $67,900) bonus payment and a €120,000 loan (£102,200 or $135,100). Sanhadji was placed under formal investigation on 16 September over allegations including corruption, influence peddling, fraud, receiving embezzled public funds and money laundering linked to suspected tax evasion.
Sanhadji has not been convicted and is presumed innocent. The investigation began after France's financial intelligence agency, Tracfin, flagged transactions involving Sanhadji in 2024.
