Mbappé case: investigation for “rape” confirmed by Swedish prosecutors without naming the French striker

While the Swedish media wrote that Kylian Mbappé was "reasonably suspected" in the rape case that occurred in his hotel in Sweden, the Swedish prosecutor's office confirmed that an investigation is indeed underway. His entourage had answered "no" to AFP when asked whether a complaint against Mbappé had been filed.

Kylian Mbappé, absent from the gathering of the Blues, had taken the opportunity to go to Sweden, with his former teammate Nordi Mukiele. The captain of the French team had been seen on October 10 at the restaurant Chez Jolie then at the club “V”.

In the hotel where the striker was staying, a complaint for “rape and sexual assault”was filed according to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. The events allegedly took place on Thursday, October 10. Another Swedish media outlet, Expressen, writes that Kylian Mbappé is “reasonably suspected”, which is the lowest level of suspicion in the Swedish justice system.

Prosecutor's office confirms investigation

This Tuesday, October 15, the Swedish prosecutor's office confirmed that an investigation for "rape" was indeed underway into events that occurred in central Stockholm. “Following the publication in the media of (information about) a suspected rape in Stockholm, the prosecutor can confirm that a complaint of rape has been received by the police” the prosecution said in a statement. On the other hand, the attacker is not explicitly named.

The media Aftonbladet, for its part, claims this Tuesday, October 15, that Kylian Mbappé “is the designated author”.

The Real Madrid player had reacted on X by talking about “fake news” and referring to his hearing scheduled for this Tuesday with PSG, from whom he is claiming 55 million euros in unpaid debts. After the message from its former player, PSG declared “It's a disgrace. We will keep our class and our dignity”. The hearing is scheduled for this Tuesday, October 15.
