Sweden Closes Rape Inquiry Linked to Kylian Mbappé

Swedish prosecutors have concluded an investigation linked to the French football star, citing insufficient evidence.


The inquiry into an alleged rape involving Kylian Mbappé has officially ended, as prosecutors from Sweden announced the closure due to lack of evidence. The high-profile case, which sparked significant media attention, initially arose from an incident reported to have occurred in Stockholm on October 10, amid claims made by several local news outlets. However, the French international was never formally implicated or informed of any such allegations.

On Sunday, Swedish Prosecution Authority’s senior prosecutor Marina Chirakova confirmed the decision to close the investigation, stating that the evidence collected was inadequate to proceed. There was much speculation surrounding Mbappé’s involvement, particularly after police were seen investigating the Bank Hotel, where he had stayed during his visit to Sweden. Reports suggested that police had taken clothing for further examination.

Rigorous statements from Mbappé's legal team denied any links to the alleged crime, asserting that he had not received any formal complaint or notice from authorities. His lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, had expressed concerns over the defamatory nature of the media narratives suggesting Mbappé’s complicity in any illicit conduct. The athlete himself, speaking on a French television program, reiterated his stance of non-involvement, emphasizing that he had not faced any legal summons.

As the controversy unfolded, Mbappé continued to demonstrate his prowess on the football field, achieving significant milestones, including scoring his 50th goal in the Champions League. This inquiry comes on the heels of Mbappé’s illustrious career, which includes a World Cup victory in 2018, a successful transfer to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, and notable rankings in prestigious football awards.

With the inquiry now closed, Kylian Mbappé and his representatives seek to move past the tumultuous allegations, focusing instead on his professional journey and future endeavors within the sport.
