He is under investigation for “reasonable suspicion” of rape in Sweden. Information confirmed by theAgence France Presse. The alleged victim first went to a hospital in the capital to have physical injuries noted following this attack: “These accusations are completely false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable.

Swedish police are therefore investigating an alleged rape after football star Kylian Mbappé’s visit to Stockholm last week. According to Swedish media Expressen, TV4 And Aftonbladethe would be reasonably suspected of rape and sexual harassment. This is the lowest level of suspicion in the Swedish legal pyramid.

No complaints to date!
Guest on the 8 p.m. news TF1Maître Marie-Alix Canu Bernard, lawyer at the Paris Bar and at the International Criminal Court, wanted to react after these last 24 hectic hours in the daily life of her client, Kylian Mbappé. Attacked by PSG and the alleged victim in Sweden who would have mentioned his name to the Stocklhom police, the Real Madrid player chose the voice of his lawyer to give more information this Tuesday evening: “We are told of a complaint, of a complaint being filed, but at this time, we do not know against whom. A complaint does not make the truth, a complaint does not prove anything. And I don’t know again if the complaint targets him. He is never alone. He is never exposed to finding himself in a situation where for him there would be risk taking. So as a result, this completely excludes the fact that there could have been any wrongdoing on his part. I can tell you, it’s an absolute certainty“, she explained. Furthermore, at the microphone of TF1, Swedish journalist Katrin Krantz defended her colleagues: “In our editorial staff, we are completely sure, we are 100% certain that Kylian Mbappé is indeed the suspect in this affair. Did he commit a crime? We don’t know anything about it“.
She continued: “He is particularly serene but on the other hand he is totally stunned to see this media hype. He does not understand at all what can be blamed on him in any way. An investigation targeting him? If that was the case, obvious. He was absolutely serene today. He left for training. He has nothing to reproach himself for“. As a reminder, the player’s first lawyer, Maître Delphine Verheyden, had already reacted in front of the LFP headquarters this Tuesday afternoon: “Today, I won’t hide the fact that I am very focused. Besides, I am delighted that so many of you are interested in this decision of the appeals commission (..) The latest information is just now because the commission has not yet had place. Thank you and see you later, that’s the news of the day. Don’t let yourself be entertained”. In addition, Maître Marie-Alix Canu Bernard confirmed that complaints for defamation would soon be filed to counter any media harassment of which the captain of the Blues is a victim.
