Monaco FC striker Wissam Ben Yedder is under investigation for rape, according to the public prosecutor in Nice, as reported by Agence France-Presse. Prosecutor Xavier Bonhomme confirmed allegations of rape from two victims against two individuals on Monday in the town of Beausoleil, north of Monaco, adding, "We do not know who the second person is."
According to France Info radio, two women aged between 19 and 20 have accused Ben Yedder and his younger brother of "forcing them to engage in sexual acts" after spending a night together.
Ben Yedder, 32, last played for the French national team in June 2022 and was present earlier this month for Monaco's pre-season training.
