Swiss prosecutors have concluded the investigation into an alleged rape in Stockholm, reported by Swedish media to involve French football star Kylian Mbappé. Authorities closed the case citing "insufficient evidence." Although never formally named a suspect, Mbappé denied the allegations as “fake news.” The Real Madrid player, in Stockholm from October 9 to 11, was never questioned officially. Despite Swedish media linking him, prosecutors decided further inquiry wouldn’t alter the case outcome. The complaint arose a day after the alleged incident, with clothing taken as evidence. Mbappé’s lawyer hinted at a defamation suit.
