The Versailles Court of Appeal has confirmed the referral of Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco international footballer Achraf Hakimi to stand trial for rape, according to a judicial source on June 19, 2026. The decision upholds an earlier order from an investigating judge.
Hakimi, 27, has been under investigation since February 2023 following a complaint filed by a woman who accused him of rape at his home in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt. The player has consistently denied the allegations through his lawyers.
The trial date has not yet been set. Hakimi's legal team stated they will continue to argue for his innocence in court. The case has drawn significant media attention due to Hakimi's high-profile status in football.
