Packaged with the Blues, Kylian Mbappé was seen in a nightclub in Sweden on October 10. A rape investigation was opened for events which allegedly occurred in the small group’s hotel, with no a priori links to the player.
The escapade of Kylian Mbappé in Sweden last Thursday continues to make people talk. The Frenchman made a brief visit to the Nordic country, to take advantage of his free time while he was missing the French team gathering. Enough to provoke the ire of Blues supporters, already annoyed at having seen him play with Real Madrid a few days earlier. Now a rape investigation has been opened in the hotel where the attacker was staying with his friends after their nightclub trip.
The hotel in question was raided by Swedish police after a complaint was filed. The authorities have so far never mentioned any link between the captain of the Blues and the affair, relayed by the Swedish daily Aftonbladet. Was Kylian Mbappé simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? At this time, there is no information on the identity of the suspect(s). The prosecutor in charge of the investigation did not wish to make any comments to the Swedish media.
Kylian Mbappé, on the other hand, reacted well to the article via a post on his X account, immediately treating it as “Fake news”. The player also drew a parallel between this information and his meeting scheduled for this Tuesday with PSG before the joint appeals committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) in the context of the case between them. An accusation, unsurprisingly, poorly received by his former club. “It’s a shame”, we reacted to The Teambefore finally it’s a question of gaining a little height: “We’re going to ignore it and keep our class.”
FAKE NEWS!!!! ❌❌❌
It becomes so predictable, hearing watch as if by chance???? https://t.co/nQN98mtyzR
In a press release published a little later on Monday evening, Kylian Mbappé’s entourage expressed their annoyance. “Today, a new slanderous rumor begins to ignite the web starting from the Swedish media Aftonbladet“, it is asked, before the accusations are judged “totally false and irresponsible” and their propagation “unacceptable”. And the player’s entourage threatens: “In order to put an end to this methodical destruction of the picture [de Kylian Mbappé]all necessary legal actions will be taken to reestablish the truth and pursue any person or media involved in the moral harassment and defamatory treatment that Kylian Mbappé repeatedly suffers.”
After their evening, Kylian Mbappé and his loved ones left Stockholm on Friday afternoon, heading to Ajaccio. The investigation was only launched on Saturday, following a report collected by the police from the alleged victim. The newspaper Aftonbladetwho had already broadcast the photos of the player in the streets of Stockholm last Thursday, claims to have wanted to contact the representatives of the French player.
An evening that leaves a mark
While Mbappé published a message of support to his partners before the France Israel kick-off on Thursday October 10 (“Good match”), the Frenchman was therefore in Sweden and not resting or receiving treatment. The newspaper Aftonbladet published several photos of Mbappé, masked and wearing a cap, in the streets of the Swedish capital, accompanied by relatives, including Nordi Mukiele, his former partner at PSG. Mbappé would have gone to the restaurant “Chez Jolie”, a luxury establishment specializing in French cuisine. Then the small group was then photographed getting into a black van, heading towards the V***** nightclub, in the Stureplan district. According to certain witnesses on site, the player would have privatized a space.
Questioned on the subject, Didier Deschamps indicated that there was no controversy to be sought in this evening. “What about Mbappé? He’s not there, eh! From a regulatory point of view, he purely does what he wants, from a private point of view too. Everyone will have their own perception. Maybe that Aurélien (Tchouaméni) is aware of the program of his club and that of Mbappé and knows if he is free to go… This does not mean that he did not watch the match, not sent any messages, to me too,” assured the Blues coach.
