331 models constitute an extension of the Standard Model (SM) obtained by enlarging the SM gauge group SU(3)C×SU(2)L×U(1)Y to the group SU(3)C×SU(3)L×U(1)X. We investigate how a non-minimal 331 model may embed lepton flavour universality violating contributions to b→sℓℓ processes without introducing lepton flavour violation, as suggested by the recent LHCb measurements of the ratios RK and RK∗. We discuss the model-independent scenarios of New Physics in b→sℓℓ currently favoured by the data that could be accommodated by this model and consider a few phenomenological constraints on this model.
