Achraf Hakimi breaks silence on rape accusations

In an interview, Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi returns, for the first time, to the rape accusations for which he was indicted in March 2023.

“I’m going to be honest about this. This is the first time I’ve spoken about it publicly with anyone. Since it happened, I haven’t said anything about it,” said Achraf Hakimi in an interview broadcast on A Anas Bukhash’s YouTube channel. In March 2023, he was indicted for rape by the Nanterre court after being placed in police custody. A 24-year-old French woman, living in Fontenay-sous-Bois (Val-de-Marne), presented herself at the end of February at the Nogent-sur-Marne police station (Val-de-Marne), where she told the police that she had was raped by Hakimi at her home in Boulogne-Billancourt. Accusations rejected by the Moroccan right side. He also denounced a racketeering attempt against him and launched proceedings against the complainant.
