Kylian Mbappe’s lawyer responds to Sweden rape allegations | Football

The 25-year-old spent time in Stockholm during the international break last week, while police are now investigating a suspected rape that allegedly took place on October 10 at the same hotel which Mbappe and his entourage stayed in.

Swedish police have not confirmed or denied that Mbappe or his entourage were involved in or aware of the alleged crime at the hotel during his stay.

Mbappe trained with his Real Madrid teammates on Tuesday and the player’s legal representative, Maitre Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, insists she has not received any contact from Swedish police.

‘We are told about a complaint, about a complaint being filed but at this time we don’t even know against whom,’ Canu-Bernard told TF1 on Tuesday evening.

‘He does not understand at all what could be reproached to him from near or far,’ she said.

‘If that were the case, obviously [he would present himself to Swedish authorities]. But once again, he was absolutely calm today. He had also gone to training because he has absolutely nothing to reproach himself for.’

The Swedish ­Prosecution Authority said in a statement on Tuesday: ‘In response to media reports about a suspected rape in Stockholm, the prosecutor can confirm that a criminal report has been submitted to the police.

‘According to the report, the incident took place on 10 October at a hotel in central Stockholm.’
