Achraf Hakimi accused of rape! Confirmed French prosecutors

Moroccan Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has been formally charged with rape by French prosecutors. The 24-year-old footballer is accused of raping a woman at his home in the Paris suburbs last month.

A 24-year-old woman who went to the police station last week informed the police about the incident, but did not file a lawsuit. An investigation into the case was launched earlier this week and the allegations, disputed by investigators on Thursday, were confirmed.

Hakimi’s lawyer said earlier this week that the allegations were not true. Lawyer Fanny Colin said: “The allegations are unfounded. Hakimi is calm and is not hiding from the authorities.” she had used the words.

PSG Club said: “The club categorically denies the charges and stands by its player who trusts the justice system. PSG is an organization that advocates respect on and off the pitch.” he had made the statement.

The prosecution, which handled the case, initially refused to comment on the incident, saying that the information published in the media undermined the investigations needed to reveal the truth. In the detailed report of the allegations published in Le Parisien, it was stated that the investigation against Hakimi was opened 90 minutes before the FIFA Best of Football awards ceremony held in Paris.

Hakimi, who was selected as one of the best team players of the year, took the stage with his PSG teammates Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi and received his award. Hakim was also the star of the Moroccan National Team, which finished fourth in the World Cup held in Qatar.
