Overview
- The Nanterre court accepted the prosecutor’s request on February 24, formally committing the PSG fullback to stand trial.
- The case traces to an alleged February 2023 encounter, reported to Nogent-sur-Marne police on February 25 after the woman said she was assaulted at Hakimi’s home.
- Prosecutors argue the narrative aligns in timing and detail with messages the complainant sent to a friend nearly in real time.
- Hakimi denies any assault, saying only mutual hugs and consensual kisses occurred, and he posted on X that the accusation is false.
- His lawyer alleges the accuser refused medical and DNA tests and a phone analysis, while reports note potential penalties of up to 15 years if he is convicted.
