Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has broken his silence on the rape allegations made against him, declaring his innocence in an interview with Foot Africa.
The Moroccan international is accused of raping a 24-year-old woman in March 2023, with French prosecutors in Nanterre recently calling for the case to go to trial.
Hakimi, however, maintains he has done nothing wrong.
“I am calm. Being falsely accused is horrible and unfair. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I know the truth will come out,” he said.
“I have nothing to blame myself for, and those who know me are aware of that. I remain composed and focus on the important things in my life — namely family and football.”
The allegations claim Hakimi invited his accuser to his home in Boulogne-Billancourt while his wife and children were away on holiday.
