Le Parisien have provided extra details of Kylian Mbappé’s (25) trip to Sweden. The France captain travelled to Sweden in a trip that coincided with Les Bleus’ UEFA Nations League encounter against Israel.
As reported by local media, Mbappé, who travelled with former Paris Saint-Germain teammate Nordi Mukiele, went to a restaurant called ‘Chez Jolie’ before going to a nightclub called ‘V’ later the same evening, on 10th October. In the wake of that trip, Mbappé has found himself the subject of rape accusations from Swedish media.
The alleged rape happened in the hotel in which the Frenchman was staying, on 10th October. The report from Aftonbladet in Sweden did not mention Mbappé as being a subject of the police’s investigation, unlike a later report from Expressen, which stated the contrary. Speaking to the AFP, the Real Madrid forward’s entourage stated that they were unaware that he was the subject of any enquiry. Confirming the enquiry, the Swedish prosecutor did not mention Mbappé’s name.
Mbappé initially denounced the report from Aftonbladet as “FAKE NEWS” whilst his legal representatives went on national television in France on Tuesday night to defend their client. “He’s done nothing wrong,” his lawyer, Canu Bernard, told TF1.
As per RMC Sport, Mbappé’s entourage are, however, now “certain” that the Real Madrid forward is a suspect in the case. Le Parisien have now revealed that Mbappé did have a sexual relationship with a woman whilst in Stockholm, which he believes to have been consensual.
The former PSG forward possesses text messages from the woman, since their encounter in the hotel in Stockholm. Those exchanges since their intimate relationship have been described by the media as “positive”, and Mbappé is therefore convinced that this woman is not the plaintiff in the ongoing investigation.
