[Saba Sports News] Recently, Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi made a rare response in a media interview regarding the sexual scandal of 2023. Hakimi stated, “This is the first time I am publicly discussing this matter, as I have not said anything since it happened two years ago. The matter has been handed over to the courts, which is the best way to clarify things.” The incident dates back to February 2023 when a 24-year-old woman accused Hakimi of rape, leading to his prosecution. Following the incident, Paris Saint-Germain issued a statement supporting Hakimi, asserting that he firmly denies the allegations and believes justice will be served. As of now, the case remains in legal proceedings. Hakimi and his lawyer are actively preparing a defense and hope to prove his innocence through legal means.
