Kylian Mbappe
The investigation into rape claims against French football player Kylian Mbappé has been closed, the Swedish Prosecution Authority said today, because there is not enough evidence to move forward.
This is according to multiple reports on Thursday morning.
The allegations had drawn international attention, casting a shadow over the football star’s career.
PUNCH Online reports that Mbappé, who has consistently denied the allegations, has yet to make an official statement regarding the decision.
His legal team had previously emphasised his commitment to due process.
PUNCH Online, quoting AFP on October 17, 2024, reported that Mbappé was “linked to a rape investigation in Sweden” and that he intended to reserve any explanations for the Swedish justice system “if necessary,” according to his lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard.
“He prioritises providing his explanations, if required, to the Swedish judiciary,” Canu-Bernard told AFP, while strongly condemning “media allegations suggesting that Kylian Mbappé had commented on the events of his trip to Stockholm.”
