Kylian Mbappe has found himself in a massive controversy after a Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that he has been accused of rape, and that the cops are currently investigating him. Mbappe has reacted strongly to these allegations and called the report a 'fake news'.

Mbappe slams news report

The newspaper outlet reported that Swedish cops are investigating an alleged rape incident at the Bank Hotel, a place where Mbappe and his entourage had stayed a night. Meanwhile, Mbappe's entourage has slammed this report, claiming that this was an attempt to tarnish the footballer's image and reputation, that too just before the hearing regarding unpaid wages.

Meanwhile, Mbappe's team has also claimed that all legal measures shall be taken to repair the image of the French forward and re-establish the truth if necessary. Moreover, the team also vehemently claimed that the allegations against him were 'completely false and irresponsible', according to The Sun's report.


Does this incident have a PSG connection?

Meanwhile, a PSG source told AFP that they would 'ignore' claims that Mbappe denied involvement in the Sweden incident or its link with the wage dispute with the club. However, Mbappe, in his post, has tried to make it clear that there is some connection between his reputation being harmed and the denial of payment of his due wages.

There are rumors on social media that this could easily be an attempt to spoil the repute of Kylian Mbappe amid his legal battle with PSG, who is apparently fuming at his departure from the club. It is yet to be seen if the investigation by the cops leads them to Mbappe or his entourage in the coming days.
