PSG footballer faces up to 15 years in prison for rape

Nanterre Prosecutor's Office demands criminal proceedings against Moroccan football star Achraf Hakimi

As reported by TUT.AZ with reference to Le Parisien, French law enforcement authorities insist on prosecuting the 26-year-old footballer on rape charges. The incident, according to the investigation, occurred in February 2023 at the athlete's own home. The indictment was officially signed on August 1, and now the fate of the case is in the hands of the investigating judge, who must make the final decision.

According to the testimony of the alleged victim, she visited Hakimi's house, where the footballer allegedly committed violent acts without her consent. The girl managed to free herself by pushing the athlete away, after which she immediately left the premises. The next day, she went to the police station, but later refused to file an official complaint against the footballer.

Despite the absence of a statement from the victim, the prosecutor's office decided to continue the investigation as part of criminal proceedings, relying on the evidence collected and the testimonies available.
