• Hotel incident case closed due to lack of evidence
• Swedish media had reported Mbappé was suspect
• Mbappé’s legal team had dismissed reports as false

Swedish prosecutors have dropped a rape investigation that was reportedly launched in connection with Kylian Mbappé’s visit to Stockholm in October.

In a statement released on Thursday, lead investigator Marina Chirakova said there was not enough evidence to continue the investigation, which had centred on an incident at a hotel.
