Overview

• The public prosecutor’s office submitted its formal requisition on August 1 to refer Hakimi before the departmental criminal court of Hauts-de-Seine.
• Hakimi has been under formal investigation since March 2023 and denies the accusations, characterizing them as a financial extortion bid.
• The allegation stems from an incident at Hakimi’s Boulogne-Billancourt home when a 24-year-old woman reported a rape to police without initially filing a formal complaint.
• Paris Saint-Germain has consistently backed its vice-captain throughout the judicial process and expressed trust in the justice system.
• If the judge confirms the indictment and a trial proceeds, Hakimi could face up to fifteen years in prison upon conviction.
