French soccer star Kylian Mbappé's representatives have denied reports of a rape investigation in Sweden, calling them false and irresponsible. Swedish media outlets had reported that the Real Madrid striker was the subject of a rape claim following a visit to Stockholm. Swedish prosecutors confirmed that a rape had been reported to the police but did not name any suspect. Mbappé's communications team accused the Swedish media of spreading slanderous rumors and stated that the accusations were unfounded. The French star had been given permission to skip international duty due to a minor thigh injury.
