The prosecutor’s office in Nanterre (Parisian outskirts) opened this Monday an investigation into the alleged rape of the Moroccan soccer player PSG Achraf Hakimi, indicated a source close to the case, confirming information provided by the newspaper The Parisian.

Contacted by AFPthe Public Ministry of Nanterre declined to comment on the case, regretting “the information already published” by some media, “which make the necessary investigations difficult to clarify the truth”.
According to the same source close to the case, the alleged victim appeared last Sunday at a police station in Val-de-Marne to report the rape, but did not file a complaint.
