Paris St Germain and Morocco defender Achraf Hakimi is to face trial for rape, he said in a social media post today.<\/p>\n
He denies the allegation.<\/p>\n
“Today, a rape accusation is enough \u200cto justify a trial, even though I deny it and everything proves it’s false,” Hakimi wrote.<\/p>\n
“This is as unjust to the innocent as \u200cit is to the genuine victims. I calmly await this trial, which will allow the truth to \u200ccome out publicly.”<\/p>\n
The Nanterre prosecutor’s office had opened an \u200cinvestigation in 2023 after an allegation of rape was made against him.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor confirmed on Tuesday that Hakimi’s case had been sent to trial.<\/p>\n
Paris St Germain will face Monaco in Wednesday’s return leg of their Champions League knockout round play-off tie.<\/p>\n
Hakimi was in the initial squad list published last Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paris St Germain and Morocco defender Achraf Hakimi is to face trial for rape, he said in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-314997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
