Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi is set to face trial in France over a rape allegation, according to multiple international reports. The Moroccan international has strongly denied the accusation and insists he is innocent.
Hakimi Responds Publicly
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hakimi stated: “I calmly await this trial, which will allow the truth to come out publicly.” His legal team has consistently rejected the claims since the investigation began in 2023. No official trial date has been confirmed by French judicial authorities.
Background of the Case
The case stems from allegations made by a woman who accused the footballer of rape at his residence in the Paris suburbs. French prosecutors reportedly moved forward with formal proceedings after an investigation. Under French law, a suspect remains presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. International outlets including Reuters and BBC Sport have followed developments in the case.
Impact on PSG Career
Despite the legal proceedings, Hakimi has continued to feature for Paris Saint-Germain and remains a key player for Morocco’s national team. The situation has, however, drawn widespread attention across European football. Ghanaian fans continue to monitor global football updates via GhanaMedia.net as the case unfolds.
