PSG's Hakimi Faces Rape Trial

PSG defender Achraf Hakimi will face trial for allegedly raping a young woman in February 2023, according to his lawyer and prosecutors.

Paris Saint-Germain footballer Achraf Hakimi will stand trial for rape charges related to an incident in February 2023. The Moroccan national team defender's lawyer and a prosecutor from Nanterre confirmed the trial date on February 24.

The case stems from allegations that Hakimi assaulted a young woman last year, with the legal proceedings now set to move forward despite the athlete's initial denial of the accusations.
