PSG right-back said he has been waiting for the trial “since day 1” and will now have the opportunity to present his version
The player for the Moroccan football team and the French team Paris Saint-Germain, Achraf Hakimi, announced on X this Friday (June 19, 2026) that he will face trial on charges of rape. He said he was “impatient” to expose your version.
The right-back should take the field for the Moroccan national team in this Friday’s match against Scotland. He played against Brazil in the 1st round.
In a publication, the player said that “a story that is not mine is being told at the expense of my family, my life and, above all, the truth. Sometimes I feel like I’ve become an easy target”.
According to the agency ReutersHakimi had appealed the decision of the French court that sent him to face criminal charges. The Versailles Court of Appeal rejected the appeal. It is not yet known when the case will be brought to trial.
“I’ve been waiting for this trial since day 1. And now I’m impatient for him. Finally, I can speak openly”, disse Hakimi.
The case would have occurred in 2023, when the possible victim, aged 24 at the time, reported to the police that she had been raped, according to the Reuters.
