IN BRIEF

• On October 11, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet revealed that Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid player, was seen in a nightclub in Stockholm when he was supposed to êbe in convalescence.
• A rape complaint was filed against Mbappé, but the investigation was closed due to lack of evidence according to the Swedish prosecutor.
• Mbappé's lawyer denounces the “unheard-of violence” of the accusations and stresses that her client may not be concerned by the complaint.

How far away the time seems when Kylian Mbappé set the stands on fire during the World Cup. The French no longer hold the footballer dear to their hearts today. A legal case has particularly tarnished his image in the public eye.

On October 11, the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet published an article in which we learned that the Real Madrid striker, then supposed to be convalescing, had spent his evening in a nightclub after having dinner in a restaurant in Stockholm while his colleagues faced the Israel team. The affair then got out of hand.

Kylian Mbappé quoted in a rape case ? His lawyer breaks her silence

In the Swedish press, we then discovered the filing of a complaint for rape against Kylian Mbappé. Although he seems calm today, the former PSG player will not have to answer for the facts of which he is accused, the Swedish prosecutor in charge of the case having taken the decision of close the investigation due to lack of evidence.

After her client's interview with Mouloud Achour at the beginning of the month, Kylian Mbappé's lawyer also spoke out in the media. “I maintain and reiterate that at this stage, it is quite possible that it was not him who was concerned by the complaint which, a priori, exists. That is the only thing we know”, said Me Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard on Gilles Bouleau's 8pm news, this Thursday, December 12.

For the lawyer, one does not recover so easily from such a scandalous case. “The Swedish press, which will certainly continue so as not to fall into oblivion,allowed itself to anticipate a certain number of things which were neither far nor near, in the remarks of the prosecutor in Sweden”, explained Me Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard.

And to insist: “You can't come out unscathed from a case like this. I don't know if you realize, it's a crime that the press accused him of, so it's incredibly violent“. His client has not spoken since the Swedish prosecutor's decision.
