Achraf Hakimi rape trial Champions League final verdict

This Friday, May 22, the Parisian vice-captain presents himself before the investigating chamber to attempt to cancel the proceedings. According to an AFP dispatch confirming revelations from BFMTV-RMC, the player firmly rejects these accusations of sexual violence. If he does not succeed and if the facts are not reclassified, the 2022 World Cup semi-finalist will have to face the departmental criminal court of Hauts-de-Seine at a date yet to be determined.

The case dates back to the end of February 2023. A 24-year-old woman walks into a police station in Val-de-Marne to report an assault, without formally filing a complaint. The accuser explains that she met the athlete on Instagram in January. She then allegedly went to the player’s home in a car service reserved by her. There, the former Real Madrid defender allegedly kissed and touched her against her will before abusing her. The alleged victim claims she managed to push him away before finally being rescued by a friend she had texted.

Placed under investigation and then placed under judicial supervision, the Moroccan team leader was ultimately referred to justice last February. His lawyer, Ms. Fanny Colin, remains silent today but believed at the time of this referral that the accusation "rests solely on the word of a woman which prevents all investigations".
