Bayern Munich fans were dealt a shocking blow over the weekend when the name of club legend Franck Ribéry was one of hundreds of recognizable figures found within the infamous Epstein files.
The initial post on the matter is available here.
It should be noted that within the files, many of the names mentioned have not been formally accused of wrongdoing or charged with any crimes connected to Epstein, a financer and convicted sex offender. The release included over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.
At this stage, the report is not considered to be an indictment or an acknowledgement of any wrong doing by those referenced within the files. What happens with all of this detail remains to be seen.
However, Brusa Carlo Alberto, lawyer of Bayern legend Franck Ribéry, mounted a reactive attack to his client being named in the files.
“This is fake news. I will take action in my capacity as Mr. Ribéry’s lawyer and implement all necessary legal proceedings to punish those responsible for this fake news, which is an attack on the dignity of my client and his family,” Alberto said (as capture by @iMiaSanMia).
As noted above, the files have some very damaging and descriptive information on many public figures. Ultimately, government officials and authorities might nor might decide to pursue action based on some of the information contained within the dossier.
