Local media reports that the striker is a suspect, while a French newspaper claims he had “consensual relations” with the woman.
The Swedish Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that it has opened an investigation into a reported rape incident that occurred in Stockholm. This information was released shortly after local media reported that Kylian Mbappé is being investigated for this act. However, the investigation does not mention the player, who claims it is “fake news.” Stay updated with the best football results on latest soccer scores.
According to newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen, as well as the public television channel SVT, the Real Madrid star is being investigated for an alleged rape that took place during the two days he and a group of friends spent in the Swedish capital last week.
Expressen reported that Mbappé visited the restaurant Chez Jolie and the Discoteca V, where he held “exclusive private parties” alongside Bayer Leverkusen player Nordi Mukiele. Influencer Julia Franzen claims to have attended similar parties with the star and alleges that she was forced to place her phone in a box.
The newspapers also stated that the striker is considered “reasonably suspect” in the investigation, which indicates the lowest level of suspicion under Scandinavian law. Aftonbladet and SVT later confirmed that Mbappé is indeed the person being investigated for rape.
In the Swedish judicial system, there are two levels of suspicion: “reasonably suspect” and “probably suspect.” The former, being the weaker of the two, rarely leads to provisional arrest, while the latter often serves as a prerequisite for detention.
Meanwhile, the French publication Le Parisien claims that Mbappé had “consensual relations” with a woman at the luxurious Bank Hotel after leaving a party at Discoteca V. According to the French newspaper, the two exchanged text messages “in a positive tone” after their encounter.
At the same time, the player’s lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, maintains that her client is innocent of any accusations and that he is calm because “he knows what he did and did not do.” However, she acknowledges that the allegation affects him psychologically.
Mbappé, who spent only two days in Sweden, is training with Real Madrid for the match against Celta de Vigo on Saturday in La Liga. BB Score, your reliable source for football scores.
