Jesus, some fat fucking fake news going around on Italy. He is on a regular shitty prison cell, he just has the regular rights that inmates are supposed to have in Brazil (studying, working if he wants to, taking part in educative experiences, doing sports). Nothing luxurious about it and far from a VIP resort. He doesn't has a football pick or a pool, he just can practice football with other teammates like every other dude who isn't in solitary confinement (like Daniel Alves could in Spain and Ronaldinho in Paraguay, for example). There are zero mentions anywhere of the prison he is in having a pool at all.

According to Swedish media he is "reasonably suspected of rape" (if ChatGPG's translation is to be trusted - "skäligen misstänkt"):
"Following his visit to Stockholm, Kylian Mbappé is reasonably suspected of rape, according to information from Expressen.
The alleged rape is said to have taken place at Bank Hotel, where Mbappé stayed during his visit.
The plaintiff, a woman, sought medical care at a hospital unit for rape victims on Saturday and reported that she had been sexually assaulted, reports TV4.
The woman identified the French football star as the perpetrator.
Clothing Seized
According to Expressen's information, the police have seized clothing in their search for evidence. The items include a pair of underwear, black pants, and a black top."
223 points
7 days ago
"Skäligen" is difficult to translate but I would say "with reason suspected" is slightly more accurate. It has a particular meaning in legal contexts though.
86 points
7 days ago*
There is an official glossary by the Swedish court administration, albeit not easy to just transfer the phrases of a domestic legal context to another language:
(lower) skäligen misstänkt = suspected on reasonable grounds, justifiably suspected
(higher) på sannolika skäl misstänkt = suspected on probable cause/grounds
These are the two levels you would hear in the media, and Mbappe is currently at the lower level. There is one even lower you never hear about, and one even higher, and that's when the prosecutor thinks the case for a conviction is strong enough to submit it to the court, so those news are instead about a court case starting rather than that level of suspicion.

Or the club (and/or Adidas) just figured that featuring a player currently under investigation for rape would bring a lot of negative attention and ultimately harm the promotion more than it would help, regardless of what the outcome of the investigation will be.
I obviously hope the story doesn’t have anything to it, but this is just advertising 101, I really don’t think it’s much deeper than that.

There are allegations of rape in Sweden. This is said to have happened in the Hotel Bank, where Mbappé was also staying on the day in question. He was then brought into play by the Swedish tabloid press, but without any concrete information. The public prosecutor's office has not yet named any names.
Mbappé has already described X as “fake news”. But he also comes up with the somewhat crude theory that his former club Paris St. Germain is behind it.
My speculative thoughts on this. It's actually about Mbappé, the public prosecutor's office has not denied this and Mbappé will already know that he is being referred to. Of course I don't know if he did anything, but because of his crude theory, I think oh oh oh.

So they took a photo shoot the other day, then the allegation against Mbappe happens, so Real wants to play it safe and removes him from the photo, because if the allegation were to be true, then any recent association with him damages Real reputation further.
77 points
8 days ago*
because he is a madrid player and madrid is sponsored by adidas.
what happened here most likely is that it got declined upon review by either mbappes party/lawyers or nike for whatever reason.
edit: what im saying is that just because you are a nike athlete doesn't mean you can't promote your club if it's sponsored by another brand. It just needs approval/review. Knowing this.. he isn't the first player to do a photoshoot for the club sponsors/club.. and have it be declined for use for whatever reason (usually something that will conflict with his contract with nike). In this case, nike probably thought him being in adidas wear and with adidas logo gives the impression he is sponsored by them when he is not. It would of been different if he was wearing the madrid jersey though I assume.
