Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, a Paris Saint-Germain player, has confirmed he will be referred to trial on rape charges following an accusation made by a young woman in February 2023.

The 27-year-old responded to this decision in a post on his "X" account, stating, "Today, it is enough to be accused of rape to justify your referral to trial, even if I dispute it, and everything existing proves it to be false."

Hakimi added, "This is unfair to the innocent, just as it is unfair to genuine victims. I await this trial calmly, because it will allow the truth to be revealed publicly."

The case stems from a complaint filed by a young woman who alleged she was assaulted at the player's home in Boulogne-Billancourt, after a meeting arranged via social media. Hakimi has consistently denied all accusations against him since the legal proceedings began.
