Swedish prosecutors confirmed on Tuesday that a rape investigation is underway, following media reports linking French footballer Kylian Mbappe to the case. Though the prosecutor did not name the suspect, Swedish outlets Aftonbladet and Expressen reported Mbappe’s involvement after his visit to Stockholm on October 10. The alleged incident occurred at a hotel, with the victim filing a complaint after seeking medical attention. Mbappe, who was in Sweden last Thursday, denies any knowledge of the accusation. In a social media post, he dismissed the allegations as “fake news,” citing the timing before his wage dispute hearing with Paris Saint-Germain.
