Tuesday, October 23, 2024 - Swedish police have reportedly expanded their investigation after Kylian Mbappe was accused of r@pe and s3xual harassment earlier this month.
The French star, who denies the allegations, was visiting
Sweden with friends between October 9 to October 11, staying at the Bank
Hotel in the city centre.
Shortly after, Mbappe had blasted a report
from Aftonbladet as 'fake news' about an alleged rape at the hotel
that took place on Thursday, October 10.
However, Swedish newspaper Expressen later claimed
it was Mbappe who is being investigated by police after allegations were made
against the Real Madrid star. Mbappe has not officially been named as
a suspect.
On the aforementioned night, Mbappe had visited the Chez
Jolie restaurant, before heading to the V nightclub and finally back to his
hotel in a black van with his entourage.
The 25-year-old played his first game since the allegations
for Real Madrid at the weekend, scoring in their 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.
But, Aftonbladet have now claimed the
investigation into the accusations is actively underway, with police and
forensics opening a probe at the hotel.
The report goes onto claim that police visited the hotel at
the weekend and have interviewed several staff members.
This has been done to understand which rooms and general
areas were used by Mbappe and his entourage, with it believed that CCTV cameras
will be crucial in the probe.
Police also checked the suite that Mbappe stayed in.
Cameras are based outside each hotel room in the corridors,
but police and prosecutors have remained tight-lipped on any updates to the
case.
However, the report adds that the forensic investigators
were seen carrying out several brown paper bags as they exited the hotel.
