The footballer immediately responded on X (formerly known as Twitter) with a firm denial. He wrote (roughly translated), “FAKE NEWS !!!!. It’s becoming so predictable, right before the hearing as if by chance,” and added a winking face emoji.

The scandal originated after media such as Swedish public broadcaster SVT and Expressen reported that Mbappé is “reasonably suspected of rape”. These allegations emerged after Mbappé’s visit to Stockholm. He reportedly visited a nightclub and stayed at a hotel on October 10. The Swedish police have clarified that the suspicion on “reasonable grounds” implies that there are certain circumstances that suggest a possible involvement in the crime. However, despite these claims, Swedish prosecutors have not provided any names or specific details.
