Moroccan Star Achraf Hakimi Referred to Criminal Court Over Rape Allegation. Shockwaves have hit the football world as Moroccan international and Paris Saint-Germain defender, Achraf Hakimi, has reportedly been referred to a criminal court over an alleged rape case dating back to 2023. According to reports, the case stems from an incident on February 25, 2023. The complainant, a young woman, alleged that she met Hakimi after they connected on social media and later visited his home, where the alleged assault reportedly occurred. The development marks a significant escalation in the legal process, as referral to a criminal court indicates that investigating authorities believe there is sufficient basis for the matter to proceed to trial. However, it is important to note that a referral is not a conviction — it simply means the court will now examine the evidence publicly.
Hakimi Breaks Silence. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Hakimi strongly denied the allegation and maintained his innocence. In his words: “Today, a rape accusation is enough to justify a trial, even though I contest it and everything proves that it is false.”He further added: “It is as unfair to the innocent as it is to sincere victims. I await this trial calmly, which will allow the truth to come out publicly.”The footballer insists the accusation is baseless and says he is confident the trial will clear his name.
What This Means; For now, the case enters a new legal phase. The court proceedings will determine whether the evidence supports the accusation or whether Hakimi’s claims of innocence will be upheld. The situation has sparked mixed reactions online — with some calling for patience and due process, while others stress the importance of taking allegations of sexual assault seriously. As the legal battle unfolds, one thing is clear: this is a case that will attract global attention, not just because of the nature of the allegation, but because of the high-profile figure involved. The court will ultimately decide. Until then, all eyes remain on the unfolding proceedings.
