Achraf Hakimi could soon appear in court on a rape charge.
The story dates back more than two years. In February 2023, Achraf Hakimi, then 24, was accused of rape by a young woman. After reporting the matter to the police, the player was placed under official investigation a few days later and released under judicial supervision after police custody.
Since then, the investigation and the trial seemed to have been quiet. However, this summer the case was reopened. According to information from Le Parisien, the Nanterre prosecutor's office has requested that the PSG player be formally charged and stand trial for rape at the Hauts-de-Seine departmental criminal court.
The right-back has always denied the charges, but it is now up to the investigating judge to confirm or dismiss the prosecution's indictment. If the case goes to trial and he is found guilty, Hakimi faces up to 15 years in prison./Express newspaper/
