Report: Kylian Mbappé Under Investigation for Rape in Sweden

Former Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé is facing serious legal trouble after his trip to Sweden last week, where he visited a nightclub on the night France secured a UEFA Nations League win over Israel.

Swedish media outlet Expressen reported on Monday that Swedish police are investigating Kylian Mbappé following a rape allegation. The 25-year-old French forward is accused of rape and sexual molestation during his trip to Stockholm last week.

Mbappé is being investigated on “reasonable suspicion” of sexual assault, a charge considered to be on the lower end of the scale in the Swedish justice system.

The reporting notes that Mbappé had dinner at Chez Jolie, a restaurant in Stockholm’s upscale Östermalm district, before heading to a nearby nightclub called “V.”

Expressen also revealed from a police report that the alleged sexual assault occurred on Thursday, October 10th. The incident was reported to the police two days later.

“This is a matter which is now being headed by a prosecutor,” says police spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl. “I will not comment further but rather refer to the prosecutor’s office.”
