The purpose of this appearance was to request the dismissal of the rape accusation he has been facing since 2023.\n\nHakimi’s defense presented a letter signed by Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, a former teammate, as part of their legal strategy. In the letter, Mbapp\u00e9 seeks to qualify his initial testimony, which was key for the judge to order Hakimi to trial.\n\n

Details of the Hearing and Mbapp\u00e9’s Letter<\/h2>\n\nThe decision on the appeal presented by Hakimi will be announced on June 19, coinciding with his participation in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada with the Moroccan national team.\n\nThe defense lawyer, Fanny Colin, confirmed the presentation of new elements to request dismissal. Sources close to the case revealed that Mbapp\u00e9’s letter is a central component of this new strategy.\n\nIn his initial testimony, Mbapp\u00e9 had mentioned that Hakimi confessed to him that he had kissed the young woman and touched “intimate parts” without her showing rejection. These statements were considered by the investigating magistrate as evidence that corroborated the complainant’s testimony.\n\nIn the letter, Mbapp\u00e9 qualifies his words, clarifying that he was referring to “intimate parts” and not to “his intimate parts”, without specifying whether it was sexual organs.\n\n

Soccer players enjoy a certain immunity. It’s an essentially male world, and the fight against sexual violence hasn’t started yet. But it will.<\/p>Rachel-Flore Pardo, lawyer for the complainant<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Reactions and Case Context<\/h2>\n\nRachel-Flore Pardo, the complainant’s lawyer, expressed her skepticism about Mbapp\u00e9’s qualification, questioning the possibility of using the expression “intimate parts” without sexual connotations.\n\nPardo also criticized what he considers a more lenient treatment of Hakimi compared to other media cases. He recalled that three magistrates have considered that there are sufficient elements to bring Hakimi to trial.\n\nThe complainant, 24 years old at the time of the events, reported that the encounter took place in February 2023 at Hakimi’s residence in Boulogne-Billancourt, after a previous contact through social media.\n\nAccording to the complaint, the footballer kissed her, lifted her clothes and kissed her breasts, as well as inserting his fingers into her vagina, despite her resistance.\n\nHakimi has denied any act of penetration, admitting only consensual kisses and hugs. The player has described the decision to send him to trial as “unfair”.\n\nThe club has not taken action against the player, relying on the presumption of innocence.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
