The lawyer for PSG defender Achraf Hakimi announced on Tuesday morning to the AFP news agency that her client will be tried in court for rape.
Hakimi's attorney confirmed that her client has been sent to trial after being accused of non-consensual touching and rape in 2023 by a young woman.
Charged since then, the right-back of the Parisian club has always denied this accusation and today reiterated his stance through a comment on his 'X' profile.
"Nowadays, an accusation of rape is enough to justify a trial even when I deny it and everything shows it is false. It is as unfair to the innocent as it is to the victims. I calmly await this trial which will allow the truth to come to light publicly," the player stated.
