The Swedish Prosecution Authority has closed its investigation into allegations of rape against French football star Kylian Mbappé, citing insufficient evidence.
The case, which began earlier this year, stemmed from accusations linked to an incident in Stockholm. The decision brings an end to months of speculation and scrutiny surrounding the player.
Mbappé has consistently denied the allegations and has not yet commented on the case's closure. His lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, had previously emphasized his willingness to cooperate with the Swedish justice system, stating, “He prioritises providing his explanations, if required, to the Swedish judiciary,” while condemning media reports suggesting Mbappé had commented on the situation.
The allegations had drawn widespread attention, temporarily casting a shadow over the Paris Saint-Germain forward's career.
Further details are expected later.
