Following his formal indictment on rape accusations by French authorities, Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has spoken out.In February 2023, a 24-year-old woman accused the Moroccan international, who placed sixth in the Ballon d’Or rankings for his defensive performances the previous season.

Later, Nanterre prosecutors asked that Hakimi appear in a criminal court. If a trial is held and he is found guilty, the football player could spend up to 15 years behind bars.

Hakimi vehemently refuted the accusations in a recent interview with Clique, calling them an effort to coerce him. He stated:

The woman told authorities that she went to Hakimi’s house after meeting him on Instagram, where he reportedly forced her to have sex after kissing and touching her without her consent.Hakimi and his wife, Spanish actress Hiba Abouk, split up shortly after the accusations started. Hakimi discussed how the matter has affected his personal life, saying:

My kids, who are young and ignorant of the internet and reading, suffer because of it. They will read things at some time in their lives, and I do not want them to discover that something about their father has been written and that it is a falsehood. I know it is not in good taste.

In addition, the 25-year-old stated that he has collaborated with investigators and still believes in the legal system.

In my opinion, there are many people in the football industry that exploit us. Additionally, these things occur to you while you are alone. I do not let anyone into my group anymore since it is so small.

Hakimi also attacked the media, saying that certain publications had harmed his reputation by publishing stories without accurate information. He went on to say:They are destroying my self-respect.

As the case progresses, the PSG star currently awaits the prosecutor’s request’s conclusion.
