Swedish prosecutor confirms ‘rape’ probe without naming Mbappe

Swedish prosecutors have confirmed a rape investigation following reports that French footballer Kylian Mbappe is being investigated after a visit to Stockholm, although they did not name him as the suspect. The alleged incident occurred at a hotel on October 10, and the complaint was filed on Saturday after the alleged victim sought medical attention. Mbappe’s entourage denies any knowledge of a legal complaint against him. Mbappe himself has denied the allegations, claiming they are false and irresponsible. The player has had a stellar career, becoming one of the world’s highest-paid players and achieving numerous accolades, but now finds himself embroiled in a legal dispute over unpaid wages with his former club Paris Saint-Germain.
