The Nanterre prosecutor’s office (Parisian periphery) opened an investigation on Monday for alleged rape against the Moroccan player of Paris SG Achraf Hakimi, indicated a source close to the case, confirming information advanced by the newspaper Le Parisien.
The investigation was opened after a 24-year-old girl accused the soccer player of having raped her recently at his home, located in the town of Boulogne-Billancourt (on the outskirts of the French capital).
Contacted by AFP, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office refused to comment on this casedeploring “the information already published” by some media, “which hinders the investigations necessary to clarify the truth.”
According to the same source close to the case, the alleged victim appeared last Sunday at a police station in Val-de-Marne to report the rape, but did not file a lawsuit.
The Créteil public prosecutor’s office opened an ex officio investigation and transferred the process to Nanterre, to which Boulogne-Billancourt belongs, the city where the aggression would have taken place.
Contacted by AFP, The Paris Saint Germain club did not react to the publication of this news.
Achraf Hakimi was born in Madrid 24 years ago, the son of Moroccan parents. He trained as a footballer at Real Madrid and could have been international with Spain, although he finally decided to compete for Morocco, a team with which he achieved a historic fourth place in the last World Cup in Qatar.
Son of a housekeeper and a street vendor who settled in Spain in the 1980s, Hakimi is married to the Spanish actress Hiba Abouk.
He made his debut with Real Madrid at the hands of Zinedine Zidane, although he later went through Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan, before signing for PSG.
