Thursday, September 3, 2026 - Real
Madrid star Kylian Mbappe was among high-profile figures
targeted in a kidn@pping plot by a French gang, French authorities have
revealed.
The plot reportedly targeted 26 celebrities, including
footballers, rappers and wealthy businessmen.
French newspaper Le Parisien reported the plot was
allegedly orchestrated by an 18-year-old named Clement L.
The gang leader had already been jailed for armed robbery,
after being identified as one of two men involved in an attack on a watchmaker
in Paris.
It was discovered that Clement L had already been in
pre-trial detention for pimping, as well as organised robbery.
The gang leader was detained but was then discovered to have
been sending orders from his cell via two mobile phones on Snapchat under
the alias Lester Z.
A source close to the case told Le Parisien that the
addresses of 26 wealthy individuals, including Mbappe, had been discovered on
the phones.
The star was among a list including a Chinese
businessman, jewellers, and a Turkish meat trader.
'Two phones were seized by prison guards, and their contents
were highly revealing,' the source said.
'He also wanted to go after a rapper and the footballer
Kylian Mbappe.'
When questioned, the teenager claimed he was not the mastermind of the plot and had requested he be let out of solitary confinement.
