Lead investigator Marina Cirakova said in a statement that there was insufficient evidence to continue the investigation, which centered on the incident at a hotel in the Swedish capital.

Mbappé's lawyer, Marie-Alix Kanu Bernard, and the player's representatives have not made any comments regarding the incident at this stage.
