Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has publicly addressed the r@pe allegations made against him in France.
French prosecutors have called for Hakimi to face trial for the alleged rape of a woman in 2023, an accusation the 26-year-old has vehemently denied.
‘I don’t blame myself for anything, those who know me know that. I’m calm and I’m focusing on the more important things in my life: family, football.’
If convicted, Moroccan international Hakimi faces up to 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence for non-aggravated r@pe in France.
The accusation was made after an alleged incident on February 25, 2023.
According to Le Parisien, a 24-year-old woman told police she had met Hakimi on Instagram that January, before they exchanged messages over the course of a month.
The lawyer representing the woman said the news came as an ‘immense relief’.
Hakimi previously insisted the case was simply an attempt to blackmail him.
Speaking during an interview in January, he said: ‘The truth is that when you are successful and things are going well, you become an easy target for certain people, and that taught me that you can’t trust many people around you.
‘They wanted to blackmail me and that’s why we filed a complaint and it’s going well. The justice system handled things rather well.’
