PSG's Achraf Hakimi to Stand Trial for Rape

Paris Saint-Germain footballer and Morocco national team captain, Achraf Hakimi, is set to stand trial for rape, a charge he vehemently denies. The investigation began in 2023 following a complaint, with Hakimi expressing his belief that being immediately charged despite his denial is unjust to both the innocent and genuine victims. He stated that he will face the case calmly, believing the trial will reveal the truth. Hakimi confirmed the development through a social media post, emphasizing the unfairness of the situation. He expresses hope that the legal process will clarify the facts and restore the truth. To date, the Nanterre prosecutor's office has not provided further comment on the case. The trial is expected to shed light on the allegations and determine the outcome of the case. The case has generated significant interest in the football world and public opinion, given Hakimi's popularity and the seriousness of the charges.
