Suspended Manchester City player Benjamin Mendy has been refused bail following a reported meltdown at the VIP wing of a prison.
The Frenchman who is being held for r*pe will likely spend another week behind bars after he was transported to the HMP Altcourse last Friday, Marca reports.
The 27-year-old who has been remanded will appear in court on September 10 and he has very expensive lawyers for his defence.

A source said via SunSport:
“Mendy’s family will be devastated at the news he is going to stay in prison.
"They had expected that a judge would let him go home, under strict bail conditions.”
Last week, Mendy allegedly thought he was going to be locked up on a VIP wing for celebrities and sports stars.
Man City reacts to Mendy's charges
Premier League giants Manchester City have suspended Benjamin Mendy indefinitely following the sexual allegation leveled against the left-back.
Cheshire police command reveals that they detained the football star after receiving three complainants over the age of 16, and were said to have happened between last October and last month.
Mendy joined City from Monaco in 2017 and has since been part of three Premier League title-winning squads, as well as lifting the English League Cup twice.
Man United star in big trouble after revealing the huge role Cristiano Ronaldo plays for them
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to make his second Manchester United debut after the international break against Newcastle United at Old Trafford on September 11.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner completed his two-year move to Old Trafford from Juventus on transfer deadline day.
And barely 24 hours after his sensational return to his former club, some are already tipping him to be handed the penalty-taking role currently overseen by Bruno Fernandes at the club.
