Investigation Into Kylian Mbappé Rape Allegations Closed Due to Lack of Evidence. Swedish prosecutors announced the closure of an investigation into rape allegations against French and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé, citing insufficient evidence, CNN News report. The investigation stemmed from an incident on October 10 in Stockholm, where Mbappé allegedly visited a nightclub and stayed at a hotel, as reported by Swedish media. In a statement on Thursday, the Swedish Prosecution Authority confirmed the decision to drop the case but did not name Mbappé or any individuals involved. The statement noted that a person had been "suspected on reasonable grounds of rape and two cases of sexual assault," but the evidence was deemed inadequate to proceed. Mbappé’s representatives declined to comment when approached by CNN following the announcement. Mbappé consistently denied the allegations, labeling them as “FAKE NEWS” in an October post on X, formerly Twitter, while his representatives called the accusations “totally false and irresponsible.” His team vowed to take legal action against what they termed “defamatory treatment” and “moral harassment” aimed at damaging Mbappé’s reputation. The 25-year-old footballer has faced challenges since his high-profile move to Real Madrid, scoring nine league goals but falling short of expectations. Recent setbacks for Mbappé include missing two crucial penalties in consecutive defeats, though he scored a pivotal goal in Real Madrid’s Champions League win against Atalanta. Mbappé left the Champions League game injured in the first half, adding to a rocky start at his new club following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
