Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe breaks silence on rape allegation

New Delhi: Kylian Mbappe recently opened up about the Sweden rape case in an interview that got aired on Sunday. He addressed several topics that kept him in the spotlight during the interview. Several media reports in October claimed Mbappe was the subject of a rape investigation in Stockholm. His legal team dismissed those reports as false and Mbappe himself continues to claim his innocence. 

In a recent interview with Clique Mbappe continued to deny charges of rape against him. He said, “I was surprised. These are things that happen that you don’t see coming. I didn’t receive anything, no summons. I read the same thing as everyone else. The Swedish government didn’t say anything. I’m not concerned.”

He added, “It didn’t weigh on me, because I never felt concerned. There’s a lot of noise, but I’ve always had the same intention which is to concentrate on my job and see how it ends. If justice summons me, I will simply go.”
