Mahmood named as a witness in New York civil lawsuit against Riccardo Tisci

Italian singer Mahmood has been linked to a judicial proceeding in the United States. He has reportedly been called as a witness in a civil case filed at the Supreme Court of New York. The lawsuit involves accusations of rape and sexual assault brought against Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci. The plaintiff, Patrick Cooper, claims he was sexually assaulted by the designer following an evening out. Cooper alleges that the incident occurred after he had lost consciousness. While news outlets identify the singer as a key witness, reports indicate this stems from a broader legal dispute. The proceedings involve serious allegations currently under review by the New York court system.
