Mbappé Implicated in Stockholm Rape Investigation

Kylian Mbappé, the Real Madrid and France star, has been implicated in a rape investigation in Stockholm, Sweden, with media reports identifying him as a suspect, although Swedish prosecutors have not officially named him. Mbappé and his representatives have strongly denied the allegations, labeling them as 'totally false' and 'slanderous rumors,' and plan to take legal action for defamation. The incident allegedly occurred during a visit to Stockholm from October 9th to 11th, but Mbappé claims the timing of these accusations is linked to his wage dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain. Swedish prosecutor Marina Chirakova confirmed the existence of a criminal report but refused to comment further on the investigation. Despite the media frenzy, Mbappé maintains his innocence and has dismissed the reports as 'fake news,' while his legal team has emphasized their intention to address the reputational damage. France's coach Didier Deschamps has urged caution in spreading unverified information, noting the negative impact on the team environment.
