PSG footballer Achraf Hakimi indicted for rape, announces the Nanterre prosecution

Paris Saint-Germain footballer Achraf Hakimi has been indicted for rape, the Nanterre prosecution announced on Friday March 3. An investigation was opened Monday, February 27, after the police received the testimony of a young woman of 24 years. She claims to have been raped at the home of the Moroccan defender, in Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine), the previous Saturday.

Achraf Hakimi, 24, was heard Thursday by Hauts-de-Seine territorial security investigators. He was placed under judicial supervision. He is forbidden to come into contact with the young woman, but he can leave French territory, said the Nanterre prosecutor’s office.

The player denies the charges

“We take note of the indictment”reacted to AFP the lawyer of this young woman, Rachel Flore Pardo. “My client maintains all her statements. She has chosen to speak exclusively to justice and does not wish to publicize the case, in particular to preserve her safety”she continued.

His client and the footballer first met on social networks in mid-January, franceinfo learned from a source familiar with the matter. The young woman then went Friday evening, February 24, to the home of the PSG player, where they first discussed. The two versions disagree on what happened next, after midnight: he assures him that he only kissed the young woman. The victim claims they kissed and then Achraf Hakimi sexually assaulted her before raping her. She managed to free herself and run away.

The Paris Saint-Germain footballer denied these accusations on Tuesday through his lawyer. “The accusations are false assured Fanny Colin at Parisian. He is serene and is at the disposal of justice.” Contacted by AFP, the capital club refused to comment on the case immediately.
