It’s about the accusation of a young woman who claims that the Paris St.-Germain professional raped her. The Moroccan vehemently denies this.

Achraf Hakimi, former Borussia Dortmund professional, has to stand trial. The AFP news agency reported this on Tuesday, citing the player’s lawyer and the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office. It’s about the accusation of raping a young woman.

A then 24-year-old told the police in February 2023 that she had been raped by the Paris St.-Germain professional. She initially did not file a complaint. Different versions of what happened at a meeting are circulating in the media. The two got to know each other via Instagram.

Hakimi’s lawyer accuses the woman of obstructing the investigation and refusing medical examinations. There is no date for the procedure yet.

The Moroccan national player Hakimi himself spoke up on the short message service He looks forward to a process “that will offer the opportunity for the truth to come to light.”

Right-back Hakimi, who was born in Madrid and comes from Real’s youth team, played a total of 73 competitive games for BVB between 2018 and 2020. He has been under contract with PSG since 2021, won the Champions League with the club last year and was named Africa’s Footballer of the Year.
