BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT, FRANCE, AUG 3 – French prosecutors seek trial for Achraf Hakimi over a 2023 rape allegation despite no formal complaint, with the accused denying charges and legal proceedings ongoing.
- On August 1st, 2025, French prosecutors formally asked that Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi be sent to court over accusations that he sexually assaulted a woman at his home in Boulogne-Billancourt in February 2023.
- The case originated after a 24-year-old woman reported to police that Hakimi invited her to his residence and raped her, while Hakimi denies the allegations and claims attempted extortion.
- Hakimi was charged in March 2023 and placed under judicial supervision, with lawyers for both sides expressing strong and opposing views on the prosecutors' trial request.
