It’s all systems go for Kylian Mbappé as the Swedish authorities have officially closed the book on the investigation concerning an alleged incident from October in Stockholm. After a thorough inquiry where the French football superstar was listed as a potential suspect, the prosecutor has announced that there just wasn’t enough evidence to keep the probe moving forward. With the investigation wrapped up, Mbappé can focus on what he does best: dazzling fans on the pitch.
Prosecutor’s Office Brings Investigation to a Close
The Swedish Prosecutor’s Office issued a clear statement: “During the investigation, one individual was identified with reasonable suspicion connected to the alleged rape and two counts of sexual harassment. However, I deem the evidence insufficient to warrant further proceedings. Therefore, we are closing the case.” This statement confirms that Mbappé was never officially seen as a suspect in a criminal capacity.
Handling the case, Prosecutor Marina Chirakova thoroughly examined every angle. “In sexual violence investigations, it’s standard to conduct technical examinations, and we ensured that was accomplished in this case,” she explained, while reinforcing that due to legal confidentiality, details remained scant. This closure marks a significant moment for Mbappé, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing through his legal team and media appearances.
“If justice calls me, I will go with total naturalness,”
A Night Out in Stockholm: How It All Unfolded
What began as a leisure trip during his time off turned into a two-month saga. On October 10, amid a five-day break from international duty due to mild discomfort, Mbappé was spotted soaking up the Stockholm nightlife at the V nightclub in Stureplan. But festivities soured when police received a report about an alleged sexual assault later that weekend. Within days, authorities were combing through the hotel where things reportedly took place.
Despite the ordeal that followed, Kylian maintained his innocence throughout, remaining engaged with the situation, even confirming he would cooperate fully with any inquiries. After two months of questioning and fact-checking, the authorities have confirmed that, for now, there’s nothing left to investigate, allowing the football star to refocus on his career.
