A French appeals court on Friday confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain defender, Achraf Hakimi, will face trial for the alleged r*pe of a woman
In February 2023, a woman then aged 24 told police in the Val-de-Marne region, southeast of Paris, that Hakimi had r*ped her.
The PSG right-back and captain of the Moroccan national team, whose second match of the 2026 World Cup takes place on Friday against Scotland, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Shortly after the Versailles Court of Appeal delivered its ruling, Hakimi wrote on X that he had been “waiting for this trial since day one”.
“At last, I’ll be able to speak,” he said.
A date has not been announced for the start of the trial at the criminal court in the Hauts-de-Seine department.
“This confirmation was expected. Nothing here says that he is guilty of anything, he remains steadfast in his defence,” Hakimi’s lawyer Fanny Colin said.
