The Nanterre prosecutor’s office (Hauts-de-Seine) opened a rape investigation on Monday, February 27, targeting the Moroccan defender of Paris-Saint-Germain Achraf Hakimi, a source familiar with the matter reported to Le Monde, confirming information from the Parisian.

The investigation was entrusted to the territorial security of Hauts-de-Seine, after accusations from a 24-year-old woman who said she was raped on February 25 at the player’s home in Boulogne-Billancourt. Contacted by Le Monde, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office refused to communicate on this case, deploring that “the information already published” in the press “undermines the investigations necessary for the manifestation of the truth”.

According to a police source, this woman went to the police station in Nogent-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne) to denounce acts of rape committed by Achraf Hakimi. They had met in January on the social network Instagram, continues this source, and she had gone Saturday evening to the player in a VTC (transport car with driver) ordered by Hakimi.

On the spot, she reports that Hakimi, 24, kissed her and touched her without her consent before raping her. She says she got rid of him by kicking him. A friend, contacted by SMS, came to recover it, always concludes this source.
