where is the rape investigation in Sweden?

As best he can, Kylian Mbappé is trying to regain his level, he who was strongly criticized after Real Madrid's defeat at Liverpool in the Champions League on November 27 (2-0). The striker of the France team, which he did not join during the last two international sequences, has also made the news away from the field in recent months. Particularly after his trip to Stockholm in October, when he was granted a few days of rest by Real.

A few days after his departure from Sweden, we learned of the opening of a rape investigation in Stockholm. The hotel where Mbappé had stayed had been searched. According to at least four Swedish media, the 25-year-old footballer is the one who was named as the perpetrator of the crime by the complainant. According to The Parisianthe former PSG player admits to a sexual relationship with a woman at the hotel, but maintains that this relationship was consensual.

Case “still ongoing”

On Tuesday October 15, a press release from the Swedish prosecutor mentioned “media reports about suspected rape in Stockholm” and confirmed “that a complaint has been filed with the police”according to which “the incident took place on October 10 in a hotel”. Kylian Mbappé's name did not appear anywhere in the short press release.

Contacted, the prosecutor said few things, except that the case is “still in progress”. Several women were interviewed as part of the investigation. Neither Mbappé, his entourage or his lawyers have been contacted by the Swedish police. Sportingly, the Madrilenian reassured himself last Sunday with a goal and victory in the Spanish championship against Getafe (2-0). As for the Blues, after not being called up by Didier Deschamps in November, he could make his return there in March 2025.
