According to Expressen's information, Mbappé is reasonably suspected, the lower degree of suspicion, for rape and sexual harassment.

Prosecutor Marina Chirakova, who is leading the investigation, does not comment on any details or which individuals may be involved. However, in a press release from the Prosecution Authority, it is confirmed that a report of rape at a hotel in central Stockholm has been filed.

The crime is said to have been committed on October 10, says Chirakova to TT.

"Fake news"

One person is listed as the plaintiff in the case, according to court documents.

The football star himself denies the allegations and calls it "fake news".

In a post on X, he writes that the situation is "predictable", and implies that the timing is no coincidence. On Tuesday, Mbappé and his former club PSG are scheduled to meet in the appeals committee for the professional football league, regarding a dispute over unpaid wages and bonuses.

France's national team coach Didier Deschamps is also critical of the media reports.

Be careful when you pick up things. You should take a step back before publishing anything, but such things happen from time to time, says Deschamps to reporters after France's 2-1 win in Belgium in the Nations League.

No conversation

There are things that are not difficult to verify, but if you believe anything... says Deschamps without developing his reasoning further.

Anyway, I don't think I'll talk to him about it. He's big enough to know how to communicate.

Kylian Mbappé missed the Nations League match against Belgium due to a thigh injury.
