‘I Am Calm’: Hakimi Shrugs Off Trial Referral Over Rape Allegations

Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi stated on Monday that he feels "calm" following a court referral over rape allegations, insisting the claim against him is "false". He expressed trust in the justice system and has left the matter to his lawyers. The case, linked to an incident in February 2023 involving a 24-year-old woman, is now before a departmental criminal court in Hauts-de-Seine, with no hearing date set.
