Paris Saint-Germain and Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi has been charged with rape.
This week French prosecutors opened preliminary investigations following rape accusations made against the defender.
A 24-year-old woman has accused the player of raping her in his home on February 25th.
According to sources she had reported the incident at a police station on Sunday but did not press charges.
AFP reports that Hakimi has now been charged with rape following investigations.
Hakimi’s lawyer, Fanny Colin said on Tuesday the player had done nothing wrong and that “the accusations are false.”
This comes after the PSG defender attended the FIFA Best Awards ceremony in Paris on Monday where he was named in the FIFA PRO 11.
Paris Saint-Germain is yet to issue an official statement on the letter.
