The Swedish Prosecution Authority announced today that the investigation into rape allegations against French footballer Kylian Mbappé has been closed due to insufficient evidence to proceed. This decision was reported by multiple outlets on Thursday morning.

The allegations had attracted significant international attention, briefly casting a shadow over Mbappé’s career. While Mbappé has consistently denied the claims, he has not yet issued an official statement regarding the closure of the case. His legal team has previously emphasized his commitment to due process throughout the investigation.

According to PUNCH Online, citing AFP on October 17, 2024, Mbappé had been “linked to a rape investigation in Sweden” and expressed his intention to provide any necessary explanations to the Swedish justice system. His lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, had strongly condemned media reports suggesting Mbappé had publicly commented on the events of his trip to Stockholm, emphasizing that he would address the matter through the proper legal channels if required.

The case, which began earlier this year, involved accusations related to an alleged incident in Stockholm. With the prosecutor’s decision not to pursue charges, the investigation has now concluded, bringing months of public scrutiny and speculation to an end.
