Achraf Hakimi will stand trial for rape a Paris appeals court has ruled. The captain of the Moroccan team was first accused of rape in 2023, by a then 24 year old woman. In February this year, an investigative judge ruled that Hakimi would face trial followed recommendations from public prosecutors. The PSG right back appealed the decision, but today that appeal was quashed paving the way for Hakimi to be tried in a criminal court.
