Barely two months after the first reports appeared in the Swedish press and the opening of a rape investigation announced by prosecutor Marina Chirakova, who never cited or named Kylian Mbappé, the investigations are closed. “ I believe that the evidence is not sufficient to continue the investigation and it is therefore closed », Says the representative of the Stockholm public prosecutor’s office.
In a press release, Swedish justice specifies that the person initially targeted “ was not notified of a suspected crime “. In other words, Kylian Mbappé or not, no concrete element emanating from the aforementioned Scandinavian prosecutor’s office could have allowed the identification of the suspect. Which did not prevent the Swedish press from quickly pointing out the captain of the France team.
The Swedish press singled out
Asked on TF1 this Thursday, as part of the 8 p.m. news, the lawyer for the Real Madrid striker, Me Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, remains convinced that her client has never been involved in any way in this matter: I maintain and reiterate that at this stage, it is very possible that it was absolutely not him who was concerned by the complaint which a priori exists. It’s the only thing we know. »
Kylian Mbappé’s lawyer insists on this notion of a totally flouted presumption of innocence, emphasizing the responsibility of the Swedish media: “ The Swedish press, which will certainly continue so as not to fall into oblivion, still took the liberty of anticipating a certain number of things which were neither remotely nor closely in the Prosecutor’s remarks. in Sweden. »
