Kylian Mbappé at Center of Swedish Rape Inquiry Coverage

French Footballer Denies Allegations Amidst Media Controversy


Kylian Mbappé finds himself unexpectedly linked to a Swedish rape inquiry; however, both his legal team and Swedish authorities highlight the lack of evidence against him.

French football captain Kylian Mbappé has expressed shock over media reports associating him with a rape investigation in Sweden. His lawyer, however, maintains calm, asserting that he has no grounds for concern. Swedish authorities confirm investigating a suspected rape in Stockholm but have not named any individuals. Despite this, Swedish media speculate on Mbappé's involvement following his recent visit to a central Stockholm hotel.

On social media, Mbappé dismissed the accusations as "FAKE NEWS," reinforcing his stance to his 14 million followers. His itinerary reportedly included a restaurant and nightclub visit during his stay. Prosecutors stated the incident being investigated occurred on October 10. Following this, police collected evidence from the hotel.

Senior prosecutor Marina Chirakova leads the inquiry but cannot divulge details currently. Meanwhile, Mbappé resumed training with Real Madrid after not being called for France's recent Uefa Nations League matches. The accuser's lawyer, Petra Eklund, declined to comment on ongoing legal proceedings.

Mbappé's legal representation slammed defamatory media reports, recently reiterating on TF1 that no complaint is known against him. Lawyer Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard emphasized Mbappé's cautious behavior, denying any possibility of wrongdoing. She plans to file a defamation complaint.

Separately, Mbappé appeared to connect the Swedish reports to financial disputes with former club Paris Saint-Germain, suggesting a strategic media ploy ahead of a French football league appeals hearing concerning unpaid wages and bonuses. While PSG refutes the claims, a decision is forthcoming.

Under Sweden's reformed rape laws, convictions may involve negligent actions if non-consensual participation was plausible. As the investigation unfolds, attention remains on substantiating facts amidst significant media coverage.
