Achraf Hakimi, the Paris Saint-Germain star, has denied a rape accusation against him, claiming he is the victim of a “racketeering” plot. The Moroccan international, who joined the French champions from Borussia Dortmund last summer, has been accused of rape by a woman in France.
Hakimi has strongly denied the accusation, claiming he is the victim of a “racketeering” plot. He has also alleged that his wife has “dumped” him as a result of the accusation.
The 22-year-old defender has released a statement through his lawyer, denying the accusation and claiming he is the victim of a “racketeering” plot. He said: “I categorically deny the accusation of rape that has been made against me. I am the victim of a racketeering plot. My wife has dumped me as a result of this accusation.”
Hakimi’s lawyer, Jean-Marc Descamps, has also released a statement, claiming that the accusation is “false and defamatory”. Descamps said: “The accusation of rape made against Achraf Hakimi is false and defamatory. We are in the process of taking legal action against the person who made the accusation.”
The accusation against Hakimi has been made by a woman in France, who has not been identified. The woman has alleged that Hakimi raped her in a hotel in Paris in October 2020.
The accusation has been met with shock and disbelief by Hakimi’s friends and family. His brother, Mohamed, has spoken out in support of the defender, claiming that the accusation is “untrue”.
Hakimi has been a key player for PSG since joining the club last summer. He has made 24 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing four assists.
The accusation against Hakimi has cast a shadow over his career and it remains to be seen how the situation will develop. For now, Hakimi has denied the accusation and is taking legal action against the person who made the accusation.
