The media spotlight is once again focused on Achraf Hakimi. The Court of Cassation today confirmed the referral for trial of the PSG player before the Hauts-de-Seine departmental criminal court for rape. He is accused by a young woman for facts dating back to 2023. As since the start of the affair, the Moroccan international retains the support of his club. “ Achraf Hakimi has always firmly contested the facts with which he is accused and remains presumed innocent to this day. The Club strives to preserve for its player a serene, respectful working environment that complies with the fundamental principles of law. », says a press release to Parisian.
“ Moreover, the club recalls its constant and unambiguous commitment to the fight against all forms of violence, and in particular sexual violence. », continues the double European champion in his message. Hakimi appealed to the Court of Cassation, after the Versailles Court of Appeal confirmed his dismissal for rape last June, during the World Cup. This was the last avenue of appeal within French justice. A trial will indeed be held. The right side has always denied the facts with which he is accused.
