The French Court of Cassation rejected, on Wednesday, the appeal of Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi against the decision to refer him for trial on charges of rape in a case dating back to 2023. The woman involved, who had connected with Hakimi via Instagram, reported to the police that the player had raped her after they met at his home in February 2023. She stated that he kissed and touched her without her consent before assaulting her sexually, prompting her friend to intervene and remove her. Hakimi was referred to trial in February 2026, and after his appeal, the Court of Appeal upheld the referral decision in June 2023. The player then filed another appeal before the Court of Cassation, which rejected it on Wednesday. The rape case remains before the court, with no trial dates set yet; Hakimi is presumed innocent until a final judgment is issued.
