While Swedish media outlets initially speculated about Mbappé’s involvement, official sources never formally linked him to the allegations, nor did prosecutors inform him of any formal investigation. Mbappé's legal representation dismissed the claims as defamatory and maintained that the footballer was not involved in any illegal activities. His lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, emphasized the athlete's careful lifestyle that minimizes exposure to risky situations.
The inquiries reportedly stemmed from accusations of rape and sexual harassment at a hotel during Mbappé’s visit to Stockholm. Police actions included searching the hotel and seizing items for evidence. Despite the heightened scrutiny, evidence was deemed insufficient to substantiate the claims, leading to the closure of the case.
In a recent interview, Mbappé expressed bewilderment over the allegations, firmly stating, "I haven't received anything, no summons... I'm not involved." He has consistently referred to the rumors as misinformation, further asserting his commitment to maintaining his reputation.
The inquiry's conclusion comes at a time when Mbappé is enjoying a successful sports career, having recently scored his 50th Champions League goal after transferring from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Real Madrid. He is also recognized for his previous achievements, including winning the World Cup in 2018 and being nominated for prestigious awards in football.
