After initial statements from the entourage of Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, about the investigation opened for rape against him, it is the turn of the club where he plays to take a stand.
Paris Saint-Germain declares that “the club is in favor of the player who has firmly refuted the claims and trusts justice” in a statement to the French media “Le Parisien”. “PSG is an institution that fosters respect on and off the pitch,” it continued.
Furthermore, multiple sources affirmed that several meetings were held between PSG and the player’s advisers during this day on Tuesday.
“Le Parisien”, specifies that on the side of the sponsors of PSG, no comment has been given for the time being.
Hakimi’s defense is being handled by lawyer Fanny Colin, who stated in a French newspaper that she believes ‘the accusations are false’.
During the 26th day of Ligue 1, Achraf Hakimi should also attend Nantes’ welcome party on Saturday night and the training session with his teammates this coming Wednesday at noon.
