Achraf Hakimi
Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi, who is being investigated over an alleged rape, said he has “peace of mind” and expects to be cleared of the accusations. Last month, French prosecutors called for the 26-year-old Morocco international to face trial over the allegations that he raped a 24-year-old woman that he had met over social media.
“I know that what I am accused of is a lie,” Hakimi told journalist Mouloud Achour in an interview for the ‘Clique.’ “I know that I have not done anything and that I would never do that. Today, I have peace of mind.... hoping that the truth will soon be revealed,” Hakimi said.
