Moroccan soccer player Achraf Hakimi is to face a rape trial, the defender, who plays for Paris Saint-psgGermain and the Moroccan national squad, said in a social media post on Tuesday. He denies the allegation.

Aujourd’hui une accusation de viol suffit à justifier un procès alors même que je la conteste et que tout démontre qu’elle est fausse. C’est aussi injuste pour les innocents que pour les victimes sincères. J’attends avec calme ce procès qui permettra que la vérité éclate…

"Today, a rape accusation is enough to justify a trial, even though I deny it and everything proves it`s false," Hakimi said in a post on X. "This is as unjust to the innocent as it is to the genuine victims. I calmly await this trial, which will allow the truth to come out publicly."

The Nanterre prosecutor`s office had opened an investigation in 2023 after an allegation of rape was made against him.

The prosecutor confirmed on Tuesday that Hakimi`s case had been sent to trial.

Paris Saint-Germain will face Monaco in Wednesday`s return leg of their Champions League knockout round playoff tie.

Hakimi was in the initial squad list published last Tuesday.
