Kylian Mbappe Under Investigation For Rape In Sweden
Kylian Mbappe is reportedly under investigation of rape, according to media reports. The Swedish public broadcaster SVT reported that the French footballer is “reasonably suspected” of rape.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority said on Tuesday: “In response to media reports about a suspected rape in Stockholm, the prosecutor can confirm that a criminal report has been submitted to the police.
“According to the report, the incident took place on 10 October at a hotel in central Stockholm.”
On Monday afternoon Mbappe reacted furiously to an initial story by Aftonbladet, which referred to the alleged incident but did not link him individually. Mbappe\'s camp further denied the story.
“Today, a new slanderous rumour is starting to spread across the web from the Swedish media Aftonbladet,” the statement read. “These accusations are completely false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable.
“In order to put an end to this methodical destruction of [the] image [of Kylian Mbappé], all necessary legal actions will be taken to re-establish the truth and pursue any person or media involved in the moral harassment and defamatory treatment that Kylian Mbappé is suffering repeatedly.”
