Swedish prosecutors have officially closed a rape and sexual assault case involving Kylian Mbappe, citing insufficient evidence as the primary reason for their decision.

Although the suspect was not publicly identified, Mbappe's lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, confirmed that the investigation concerning the French soccer star has been terminated. The charges stemmed from alleged incidents at a Stockholm hotel in October.

The case's closure was also influenced by the alleged victim's decision to stop participating in the investigation, as stated by Swedish Senior Prosecutor Marina Chirakova.
