Paris Saint-Germain fullback Achraf hakimi is the subject of a preliminary investigation into an alleged rape by French prosecutors according to a source in Paris.
A 24-year-old woman reportedly accused the Moroccan of raping her at his home in the French capital on Saturday 25 February.
The source said the woman reported the incident at a police station on Sunday but did not file charges. The public prosecutor’s office handling the case in Nanterre, in the western suburbs of Paris, declined to comment but confirmed an investigation had begun.
Born in Spain, Hakimi was a key player as Morocco made history by reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, the first African side to do so.
