The team of France and Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe reacted to the news from the Swedish press that the Stockholm police had launched an investigation after a woman complained about a rape that occurred in a hotel where Mbappe and his relatives spent two days last week.
"Today, gossip from the Swedish media is starting to spread online. These accusations are completely false and unfounded, and their dissemination is unacceptable.
To put an end to this methodical destruction of Kylian Mbappe's image, all necessary legal action will be taken to establish the truth and prosecute any person or media outlet involved in the moral harassment and slander that Kylian Mbappe is constantly subjected to," RMC Sport quoted the statement from the footballer's entourage as saying.
