This was confirmed this Friday by sources from the prosecution to AFP. This Thursday, the Moroccan full-back was indicted by an investigating judge and placed under judicial control after appearing before investigators from Hautes-de-Seine Territorial Security.

The young woman, with whom Hakimi began to have contact on networks on January 16, did not formalize the complaint at the police station but the Prosecutor’s Office took over the case due to the “seriousness of the events reported and the notoriety of the accused.” According to the girl’s story, the soccer player contacted her through Instagram and invited her to her home when her wife and her two children were on vacation in Dubai.

She went to Hakimi’s house, located in Boulogne-Billancourt, where he allegedly sexually assaulted her. After escaping from her, she called a friend to pick her up by car. Hours later, she went to the police station and claimed that Achraf had raped her. The 24-year-old, for her part, maintains her innocence.
