French Court Confirms Rape Trial for PSG and Morocco Star Hakimi
The court said no serious grounds justified the appeal, clearing the way for a criminal trial over allegations made in 2023.
- On Wednesday, France's Court of Cassation rejected Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi's final appeal, upholding lower-court orders for him to stand trial on a 2023 rape charge that he denies.

- Hakimi has "firmly contested" the allegations from day one, and lawyer Fanny Colin stated that "all the evidence in Achraf Hakimi's defence will be presented publicly" at trial.
- Plaintiff's lawyer Rachel-Flore Pardo said that after "three and a half years of legal battles," her client is "determined to obtain justice" and "will fight to the very end."
- The Court of Cassation ruling marks Hakimi's final legal recourse in France's judicial system, clearing the path for his criminal trial to proceed in the Hauts-de-Seine department.
