On June 19, Achraf Hakimi, who is in the middle of the World Cup with Morocco (which will face the Netherlands in the round of 16), saw the investigating chamber of the Versailles Court of Appeal confirm his referral to the Hauts-de-Seine departmental criminal court. Accused of rape since February 25, 2023 by a young woman, the Paris Saint-Germain full-back and his advisers are attempting a last resort.
The Parisian announces that Hakimi is appealing to the Court of Cassation. As a reminder, appealing to the Court of Cassation is the last resort when you wish to contest a ruling or judgment. “The Court of Cassation, which is a unique jurisdiction in France, does not judge the facts which oppose you to your adversary. It rules on conformity in law, that is to say it verifies that the judges have applied the correct rule of law.explains the official website of the public service.
