Kylian Mbappé finds himself at the center of controversy following his stay in Sweden, where his name has been linked to an alleged rape case. However, the player strongly denies the accusations and threatens legal action.
According to several Swedish media outlets, a complaint has been filed for sexual assault, and an investigation has been opened by Swedish police. « An investigation is ongoing regarding a crime reported on October 10 in central Stockholm, » said the prosecutor handling the case, without providing further details.
This situation could have significant repercussions on the forward’s reputation, especially after his decision to skip national team matches to rest. Mbappé’s camp has strongly denied the allegations in an official statement.
« These accusations are totally false and irresponsible »
« Today, a new slanderous rumor is circulating, starting from the Swedish media Aftonbladet, » explained the statement released to AFP.
« These accusations are totally false and irresponsible, and their spread is unacceptable. To put an end to this systematic destruction of Kylian Mbappé’s image, all necessary legal actions will be taken to restore the truth and pursue any individuals or media involved in the moral harassment and defamatory treatment that Kylian Mbappé is repeatedly subjected to, » the statement continued, as shared with AFP.
