French handball player Benoît Kounkoud in police custody for attempted rape after European title. The 26-year-old player, who usually plays as a right winger for the Polish club KS Kielce, was then placed in a sobering-up cell.

The day before his arrest, the former PSG player paraded under the gilded Elysée in the company of his teammates. The French handball players returned to France on Monday, where they were welcomed as heroes.
