Mbappe Accused of Assault at Swedish Hotel
Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has been accused of rape and sexual harassment during a stay at a Swedish hotel. This development comes after the footballer publicly dismissed similar reports as “fake news.” Swedish authorities are now investigating the incident, with allegations directed at the French national team captain.
Details of the Alleged Incident
According to Swedish newspaper Expressen, Mbappe and his entourage were staying at the Bank Hotel in central Stockholm last week. The alleged assault reportedly took place on Thursday night after Mbappe had visited the Chez Jolie restaurant and the V nightclub. He and his friends returned to the hotel in a black van, where the incident is said to have occurred.
Expressen claims that a formal report was filed with police two days after the alleged assault, further intensifying scrutiny around the football star.
Mbappe’s Response to the Allegations
Mbappe took to social media platform X to refute the initial claims, calling them “Fake News.” He suggested that the timing of these accusations was suspicious, pointing out that they surfaced just before a scheduled hearing in a legal battle between him and his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), over unpaid wages and bonuses amounting to £46 million.
“It’s becoming so predictable, just before the hearing, as if by chance,” Mbappe wrote, dismissing the reports.
Police Investigation Underway
The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that police in Stockholm have confirmed an ongoing investigation into an alleged rape at the hotel. Forensic teams were reportedly on the scene on Monday, examining the location where the alleged crime took place. According to the paper, the case came to light when the woman involved sought medical care at a local hospital following the incident.
Authorities Stay Tight-Lipped
Swedish prosecutors and police officials have been reluctant to provide specific details on the case. The prosecutor leading the investigation has declined to comment, while police spokesperson Carina Skagerlind stated that they “can neither confirm nor deny such a case.” This lack of information has only added to the mystery surrounding the allegations.
Mbappe Leaves Sweden Amid Allegations
Mbappe and his entourage left Sweden on Friday, departing from Bromma airport via private jet. As the investigation continues, the footballer has returned to his professional commitments, although the allegations cast a shadow over his personal and public life.
A Case That Raises Questions
While the investigation is still in its early stages, the accusations against Mbappe have already sparked widespread media coverage. With forensic teams gathering evidence and no official statements from Swedish authorities, it remains to be seen how the case will unfold. For now, Mbappe faces both legal battles and reputational challenges as he continues to deny all allegations.
