It is not the best year for Kylian Mbappé. Still in the process of adapting to Real Madrid, the French forward is trying to show all the quality that led him to be the star signing of the season. In everything it is frame, The Frenchman was reported in Sweden for alleged rape, although now the Nordic country’s justice system has closed the case due to lack of evidence.
The Swedish Prosecutor’s Office announced the closure of the preliminary investigation into alleged sexual abuse against the French scorer, who had been in Stockholm at the beginning of October on a whirlwind rest trip.
“During the investigation, one person was identified as a ‘reasonable suspect’ of rape and two cases of sexual offense, but my assessment is that the evidence is not sufficient to continue, and that is why the case is closed.”he stated Marina Chirakovaprosecutor in charge of the file, in an official statement.
The reported event would have occurred in a hotel in the Swedish capital. Although the prosecution never explicitly mentioned Mbappé’s name, local media, such as public television SVT, identified the footballer as the person designated as a “reasonable suspect”, the lowest level of suspicion according to the Swedish Penal Code.
The world champion with France was in Stockholm at the beginning of October, taking advantage of some days off granted by Real Madrid during the FIFA date. In that period, the forward was not called up by French coach Didier Deschamps to represent his country, which allowed him to travel accompanied by friends (including a footballer), visit restaurants and nightclubs in the city.
When the news of the complaint became public, the footballer took to his social networks to deny any involvement and criticize the dissemination of the information. “FAKE NEWS!!! It is already becoming predictable, as if by chance on the eve of the hearing”he wrote on the X platform, accompanying the message with a winking emoji.
In a recent interview with Canal+ France, Mbappé seemed confident and assured that he had “never” felt worried about the case. He acknowledged that he had tried to stay focused on his work and noted: “If Justice summons me, I will simply go.”
