Explained: Why rape investigation allegedly targeting Kylian Mbappe has been closed by Sweden
FirstpostThough not revealed by prosecutors while investigating an alleged incident of rape and sexual assault at a posh Stockholm hotel, Swedish media had named France and Real Madrid star Mbappe as the suspect in the case. Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe was on a break when he had visited Stockholm from 9 to 11 October, having not been picked in the French squad for their Nations League games that month. Swedish prosecution authority would later announce on 15 October that they were investigating an alleged incident that occurred at an upscale Stockholm hotel on 10 October without revealing the details of suspects. In an interview that aired Sunday on French TV station Canal Plus, Mbappé said he was “surprised” by the reports that he was the subject of a rape investigation and he had not been contacted by Swedish authorities.
