Alleged Rape Case: Confrontation between Hakimi and the Accuser

Achraf Hakimi was absent from training this Friday, and PSG did not disclose the reason, but RMC provides more details.

« It’s for personal reasons; he’s doing very well. Tomorrow, he will be in the group to play the match. I won’t comment on this matter; there’s nothing serious. It won’t have any influence for tomorrow, » said Luis Enrique, PSG’s coach, in a press conference on Friday, not providing many details about Achraf Hakimi’s absence.

According to RMC Sport, Achraf Hakimi was absent from training at PSG’s Campus (Poissy, Yvelines) « to be heard as part of a confrontation after being placed under investigation for rape, » according to corroborating sources.

« It’s a logical continuation of the procedure. As a reminder, the defense had requested this confrontation from the beginning of the investigation, » assures RMC Sport.

The 24-year-old Moroccan international is accused by a young woman who claims to have been assaulted on February 25, 2023, at the player’s home in Hauts-de-Seine. The athlete’s lawyer believes that her client is the subject of an « attempted extortion » and denies any aggression.
