PSG’s Achraf Hakimi Ordered to Stand Trial in France on Rape Charge

The investigation is closed, sending the case to a Paris‑area criminal court with no trial date set.

Overview

  • The investigating judge approved committal after a multi‑year inquiry into an allegation dating to February 2023 at Hakimi’s home in Boulogne‑Billancourt.
  • Prosecutors in Nanterre previously asked that the case go to trial and are seeking a sentence of up to 15 years if he is convicted.
  • Hakimi denies the accusation, posted on X that the claim is false, and his lawyer says they will appeal the decision to send the case to trial.
  • The defense alleges the complainant blocked medical and DNA tests and phone analysis, while the complainant’s lawyer said she received the ruling with relief and called it consistent with the evidence.
  • PSG has not issued an official statement; Hakimi remains under a no‑contact order regarding the complainant and continues training, with coach Luis Enrique saying the matter is in the hands of the courts.
