French judicial authorities have ordered Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi to stand trial for rape, according to multiple French media reports on June 19, 2026. The decision follows a lengthy investigation into allegations made by a woman in February 2023.
The alleged incident reportedly occurred at Hakimi's home in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt. The woman, whose identity has not been publicly disclosed, filed a complaint claiming she was assaulted. Hakimi has consistently denied the allegations through his legal team.
The investigation included witness interviews, forensic analysis, and examination of digital evidence. The Nanterre prosecutor's office had previously requested a trial, which the investigating judge has now approved. A date for the trial has not yet been set.
Hakimi, 27, is a key player for both PSG and the Morocco national team. His legal representatives have stated they will continue to defend him and maintain his innocence. The case has drawn significant attention in France and internationally due to his high-profile status.
