The Swedish public prosecutor‘s office is investigating Kylian Mbappé over allegations of rape. The crime is said to have taken place in a hotel in Stockholm. Mbappé defends himself and believes there is a conspiracy.
Following media reports of rape allegations against French superstar Kylian Mbappé, the Swedish public prosecutor’s office has confirmed an investigation. The public prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday that an investigation had been initiated, without mentioning the name of the suspect.
“Following media reports about an alleged rape in Stockholm, the prosecutor can confirm that a report of rape has been received by the police,” the statement said. An investigation into the incident has been launched. This happened on Thursday last week in a hotel in the center of the Swedish capital.
The Swedish newspaper “Expressen” reported that the suspect was 25-year-old Mbappé. On Tuesday, the newspaper “Aftonbladet” and the broadcaster SVT also reported that there was “reasonable suspicion” against the star striker from Real Madrid. In Swedish criminal law, there must be “reasonable suspicion” for an indictment or pre-trial detention.
As “Aftonbladet” reported, Mbappé and other people visited a restaurant and then a nightclub in Stockholm on Thursday evening. The group left Sweden again on Friday. After a medical examination, the alleged victim filed a complaint on Sunday. “Expressen” reported that the police confiscated several items of clothing as evidence.
Mbappé is missing from the national team
It was reported from Mbappé’s environment that there were no reports of charges against the footballer. Mbappé had already described himself as a victim of “false reports” on “X” on Monday. “It has become so predictable. The day before the hearing, like coincidence, right?,” he wrote.
With his statement about the allegations, Mbappé alluded to pending proceedings in France with his former club Paris Saint-Germain. He is in a dispute with PSG over allegedly outstanding salaries amounting to 55 million euros. Today, Tuesday, both parties will meet before an appeals committee.
Although nothing is known about Mbappé’s injury, the striker was recently absent from the French national team. Mbappé was not in the national team squad for both the 4-1 win against Israel last Thursday and the 2-1 win in Belgium on Monday.
