Mbappe’s 48-hour journey to Sweden that ended with him accused of rape
Kylian Mbappe‘s ‘secret’ two day trip to Sweden saw him visit an exclusive nightclub where guests reportedly are told to put their phones in envelopes.
The Real Madrid star, 25, flew in on a private jet to Stockholm last week to ‘recharge his batteries’, according to Le Parisien.
But his 48 hour whistlestop trip to the Swedish capital ended in the French striker having to furiously deny rape allegations as his lawyer said yesterday: ‘He has done nothing wrong.’
The French striker, who moved to the Spanish giants in the summer from Paris Saint-Germain, is alleged to have hosted ‘private parties’ at the exclusive V nightclub.
Life coach and influencer Julia Franzen, 34, claimed she had been to similar parties with Mbappe and said only women who ‘look good and have a nice personality’ get invited.

Swedish daily newspaper Expressen claims Mbappe rented out the ‘ping-pong room’ where he partied with 30 guests, the majority of whom were women.
Ms Franzen told the outlet she was invited to Turin in 2018 for a party with Mbappe and the French national team when she had to ‘put her phone in a box’.
The Clubbable app describes the exclusive V club as ‘the upper echelon of nightclubs’ full of ‘celebrities, wealthy men and women, and stunning young ladies dressed extravagantly’.
‘Naturally, the drinks are expensive, but besides paying for your drinks you cannot buy your way in here,’ it adds on its website.
‘You need to wait for your turn on the exclusive guest list, sadly. But the sooner you sign up, the sooner you get in.’
The club is located on the second floor of Sturecompagniet, Stockholm’s largest and most prestigious nightclubs, according to the Visit Stockholm website.
Mbappe flew in on a private jet last Wednesday before checking in to the swanky Bank hotel.
Rooms at the independent boutique hotel start at around £400 a night with a town suite costing an eye-popping £900 a night.

Swedish prosecutors confirmed on Monday that according to a ‘criminal report’ an incident took place on October 10 at the Bank hotel.
Mbappe had reportedly earlier that night been at French restaurant Chez Jolie before he headed to the V nightclub and finally back to his hotel in a black van.
The BBC reported that officers visited the hotel on Monday and later left with bags, with it being reported that clothing was taken for evidence.
Mbappe, who reportedly earns around £246,000 a week, blasted a report from Aftonbladet as ‘fake news’ about an alleged rape at the hotel that took place on Thursday evening.
His lawyers insist Mbappe is bewildered by the accusations that he continues to strongly refute.
‘We’re talking about a complaint being lodged, and at this time we don’t know against whom,’ said Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, speaking on French TV’s TF1. ‘A complaint doesn’t reveal anything.
‘Mbappe is never alone. He is never alone, so he would be exposed to a situation where he would be taking a risk. That totally rules out any wrongdoing. It’s an absolute certainty.
‘He’s particularly serene, but he’s flabbergasted by all the media hype. He has no idea what he’s being accused of. If there is an investigation, he will submit to Swedish justice. But he is calm because he has nothing to reproach himself for.’
Mbappe took to social media to brand the report ‘fake news’ and continues to deny the claim
Meanwhile, on Monday, Mbappe’s entourage had told AFP in a statement: ‘Today, a new slanderous rumour is starting to spread across the web from the Swedish media Aftonblade.
‘These accusations are completely false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable.
‘In order to put an end to this methodical destruction of (the) image (of Kylian Mbappe), all necessary legal actions will be taken to re-establish the truth and pursue any person or media involved in the moral harassment and defamatory treatment that Kylian Mbappe is suffering repeatedly,’ the statement added.
Investigators and a forensic unit were at the alleged crime scene on Monday, according to Aftonbladet.
The newspaper reported that the alarm over the alleged rape was raised when the woman ‘sought care’ at a local hospital.
Mbappe left Sweden’s Bromma airport in a private jet on Friday.
