“I'm sorry for everything you’ve been through, Benjamin Mendy. You lost two years of your career,” Vinicius stated.

“But that's the least of this whole situation. What about the psychological damage? Surely your life will never be the same. The culture of destroying reputations has made yet another victim.

Until when will we be accused and then condemned without having the right to basic defense?”
