Swedish authorities have closed an inquiry into a rape case previously linked to French football captain Kylian Mbappé due to insufficient evidence. Prosecutors stated that Mbappé was never formally named a suspect or notified of any allegations. The investigation stemmed from reports of an alleged attack in Stockholm in October. Mbappé’s lawyer indicated that the player intends to clear his name, describing the reports as ‘fake news’. The case has garnered significant media coverage in Sweden.
