Overview
- The Cour d'appel de Versailles on Friday, June 19, 2026, upheld a judge's February decision that there are sufficient charges to send Hakimi to trial before the Hauts‑de‑Seine criminal court.
- The allegation dates to February 2023 when a woman says she met Hakimi on Instagram, went to his home and was kissed, touched without consent and raped before she pushed him away.
- Hakimi denies the accusation, has called it a false claim and posted that he has been waiting for a trial to tell his side of the story.
- The complainant, using the pseudonym 'Jeanne', gave her first press interview to Mediapart saying she wants a public trial to be heard and her lawyer described the appeals ruling as relief after three years of litigation.
- Under French procedure a juge d'instruction may order a renvoi en procès if magistrates find 'charges suffisantes', the decision does not determine guilt, and the confirmation leaves PSG, Morocco's federation and the public awaiting a trial date and further legal steps.
