Swedish prosecutors have confirmed a rape investigation following media reports involving French footballer Kylian Mbappe after his recent visit to Stockholm. The investigation was prompted by a complaint regarding an alleged incident that took place at a hotel on October 10. Although the prosecution has confirmed that a criminal report was submitted to the police, they have not named any suspects in their statement, emphasizing that further details cannot be disclosed at this time.
Reports from various sources identified Mbappe as the suspect, citing anonymous sources. According to these reports, he is "reasonably suspected" of rape and sexual assault, which is classified as the lower level of suspicion within the Swedish legal system. Contacted for comment, Mbappe's representatives stated they had no knowledge of any legal complaint filed against him.
The French international was not selected for his country’s latest Nations League matches and traveled to Stockholm last Thursday with a group of friends. After dining at a restaurant, they visited a nightclub before departing Sweden the following day. The complaint was reportedly lodged after the alleged victim sought medical attention on Saturday.
Authorities have indicated that evidence has been collected, including women’s underwear and a pair of black trousers. Meanwhile, Mbappe took to social media to express his disbelief regarding the timing of the reports, suggesting a connection to his hearing with a French league committee regarding a dispute with his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, over unpaid wages. He claimed that he is owed approximately €55 million ($60 million) by the club and characterized the reports as "fake news," asserting they were deliberately timed to coincide with the hearing.
