Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, star of Paris Saint-Germain, has broken his silence after his file was officially referred to the French criminal court in a case accusing him of rape, a charge that could expose him to a penalty of up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Hakimi posted on his official Instagram account a picture of himself from his summer vacation on the beach, accompanied by an emoji suggesting indifference, clearly indicating that he does not care about what is being circulated about the case and will not be affected by media or legal pressures.

In the first official comment from the defense, Fanny Collin, the Moroccan star's lawyer, stated in press statements that "my client is completely calm as he has been since the judicial investigation began," and described the legal demands as "illogical and incomprehensible considering the details of the case."

The French website Le Parisien revealed on Friday, August 1, that a final indictment list had been issued by the Nanterre prosecutor's office, demanding that Hakimi be referred to criminal trial.

The report clarified that the player faces a risk of a penalty of up to 15 years in prison if the charges against him are proven.

The case continues to spark controversy within sports and media circles, while the Moroccan player maintains official silence, content with sending signals of "reassurance" through his social media accounts.
