Achraf Hakimi has been summoned to stand trial in criminal court on accusations of raping a young woman. This development came on Friday, August 1, 2025, when the Nanterre Public Prosecutor’s Office requested his appearance in court regarding allegations that he assaulted a woman at his residence in Paris back in February 2023. Hakimi’s legal team has strongly denied the charges, describing the prosecution’s request as “illogical and unsupported by evidence.” His lawyer, Fanny Colin, stated, “Achraf and I remain as composed as when proceedings began. Should these requests move forward, we will exhaust all legal avenues to defend him.”
The young woman’s attorney, Rachelle-Fleur Bardot, conveyed that her client was relieved by the recent developments, emphasizing that there is no evidence of an extortion scheme. She criticized any attempts at character assassination, noting that women who bravely report sexual assault often face such campaigns.
Since the start of the new season, Hakimi has been on vacation and has yet to comment publicly on the case. Kylian Mbappé issued a statement supporting Hakimi, asserting that “Hakimi respects women, and I have never observed any inappropriate behavior from him.”
In early 2023, Hakimi was also accused of rape and placed under judicial supervision following an allegation from a young woman that he assaulted her at his home in Boulogne-Billancourt. Hakimi has adamantly denied the accusations, labeling them as an attempt at blackmail. In a January 2025 interview, he shared, “The truth is, when you succeed, you become an easy target… I was the victim of an extortion attempt.”
The accuser claimed that Hakimi kissed her without consent before assaulting her and that she managed to leave by contacting a friend who came to pick her up. There are suggestions of a possible scheme against Hakimi, as reports from L’Équipe reveal suspicious text messages on the woman’s phone. A friend of Nadia, another woman involved, used Emily’s phone number and received messages suggesting a plan to charm and potentially rob the footballer, including phrases like “Come in like a femme fatale” and “We’ll tie him up.” It was also noted that Emily sent a message before their meeting, saying “He’s my type,” which Nadia found amusing afterward and later questioned Emily about which messages she had sent to the authorities.
The young woman’s legal representative assured that her client was grateful for the relief these latest legal actions provided and reiterated that there is no evidence supporting any extortion or conspiracy. Meanwhile, Hakimi’s supporters continue to stand by him, stressing that he upholds respect for women and has behaved appropriately.
