Will cooperate with the investigation • The lawyer: “A report is not the truth”
Kylian Mbappé’s lawyer says that they will take legal action after the information that he is suspected of a rape in Stockholm.
The lawyer states that Mbappé has never been alone and will cooperate with the investigation.
– He feels calm, but is stunned by the media storm and he does not understand at all how he can be accused of this, says his lawyer Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard.
According to Mbappé’s lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, he is “shocked” that his name has been mentioned in connection with an investigation regarding rape. According to the lawyer, legal action will be taken and Mbappé believes that he has been defamed.
The lawyer: He’s stunned
Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, who spoke to Mbappé on the phone, states that he has not done anything wrong during his trip to Stockholm.
– He feels calm, but is stunned by the media storm and he does not understand at all how he can be accused of this, says Canu-Bernard.
According to Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, Mbappé must always have been accompanied by a bodyguard or another person.
– He is never alone. He doesn’t put himself at risk of being in such a situation so it is completely out of the question that he has done this. I can say that with absolute certainty, says Canu-Bernard.
Will cooperate with the investigation
She also states that Mbappé will cooperate with the Swedish judiciary in the investigation.
– Yes, if that happens, he will of course cooperate. But again, he feels completely at ease. He took part in training today, because he doesn’t think he has anything to blame himself for, says Canu-Bernard.
At the same time, she states that a defamation report will be filed.
The lawyer: “A report is not the truth”
The public prosecutor’s office has confirmed that a report was received about a rape in central Stockholm. According to information to TV4 Nyheterna, it is soccer star Kylian Mbappé, who is suspected of rape at a hotel in Stockholm.
– A report is not the truth or proof of anything and I still don’t know if the report applies to him, says Mbappé’s lawyer Canu-Bernard.
According to information to TV4 Nyheterna, a woman sought care in a hospital ward for rape victims on Saturday, and then reported the soccer star.
