Paris Saint Germain defender Achraf Hakimi is expected to stand trial in France following an allegation of rape linked to an incident said to have taken place at his home in 2023.
A woman filed a complaint that year accusing the Moroccan international of assault. Hakimi has consistently denied the allegation. French prosecutors opened an investigation in March 2023 and the case has now progressed to the trial stage, although no official date has been announced.
Hakimi has spoken about the situation, expressing confidence that the legal process will bring clarity. His legal team has also stated that they will strongly contest the charges in court.
The 27 year old, who has been a key player for Paris Saint Germain and the Morocco national team, continues to maintain his innocence as the matter moves forward. The case now places significant attention on one of football’s most prominent defenders while the judicial process unfolds.
