Handball player Benoît Kounkoud is accused by a 20-year-old woman of having attempted to rape her in a Parisian nightclub. Less than 48 hours after being crowned European champion with the French team in Cologne, he was taken into custody on Tuesday morning in Paris for attempted rape.

Kielce, where he has played since 2022, declared that it took “the matter seriously and (condemns) any behavior which violates the rules of social life”
