September 24, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

The legal proceedings involving Achraf Hakimi have taken a new turn. French authorities have confirmed that the Moroccan defender for Paris Saint-Germain will be prosecuted following a complaint filed by a young woman. She accuses him of sexual assault in an alleged incident from February 2023.

The decision was finalized on Wednesday, according to AFP. This comes after the footballer attempted to halt the investigation by appealing a ruling from the Versailles Court of Appeal. Hakimi has consistently denied all charges and will now face a trial before French judges.
