Kylian Mbappe's trip to Sweden has already made headlines as he traveled to Stockholm during his time off having missed international duty with France. Shortly after his stay in a hotel, Swedish police opened an investigation into a rape complaint, with Mbappé said to be a key person in the investigation.
Mbappe has publicly discussed the matter, calling it “fake news” on social media, while sources close to the player suggested the story had been planted. Sport reports that the case has now been dismissed, with judge Marina Chirakova saying 'there is not sufficient evidence to continue the case'. It should be noted that at no point did the Swedish authorities refer to Mbappé.
“The person under investigation is no longer under suspicion. The investigation is closed and no one has been questioned about it.”
Overall, Mbappe has received scathing criticism in his native France, and some believe this has affected his performances on the pitch. The former Paris Saint-Germain striker has suffered a crisis of confidence of late, struggling to finish chances that normally require little attention from him. Internal sources at the club claim he is 'a different person' since the Swedes. travel.
