Achraf Hakimi Appeals Decision to Face Criminal Trial
阿什拉夫·哈基米就面臨刑事審判的決定提出上訴
Introduction
Achraf Hakimi, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the Moroccan national team, has filed an appeal with France's highest court regarding a rape charge against him.
在巴黎聖日耳曼與摩洛哥國家隊效力的阿什拉夫·哈基米,就其被指控強姦的案件,向法國最高法院提出上訴。
Main Body
The legal process began after the Versailles Court of Appeal ruled on June 19 that Hakimi must be sent to a criminal court. This decision follows an incident reported in February 2023, when a woman claimed that a non-consensual sexual encounter took place at his home in the Val-de-Marne region. Rachel-Flore Pardo, the lawyer for the woman, emphasized that the court's decisions have consistently supported her client's claims.
法律程序始於凡爾賽上訴法院於 6 月 19 日裁定哈基米必須被送往刑事法院。此決定源於 2023 年 2 月報告的一起事件,當時一名女性聲稱在其位於馬恩河谷地區的家中發生了非自願的性行為。該女性的律師 Rachel-Flore Pardo 強調,法院的決定一直支持其客戶的指控。
Consequently, Hakimi's defense team has asked the Court of Cassation, France's highest court for civil and criminal cases, to review the decision. Although the athlete has denied all allegations on social media and said he is ready for trial, his lawyers have not given many details about the appeal. Furthermore, Hakimi continues his professional career and is currently captaining the Moroccan national team during the 2026 World Cup in the United States. A specific date for the trial has not yet been set.
因此,哈基米的辯護團隊已要求法國處理民事與刑事案件的最高法院——最高法院(Court of Cassation)重新審視該決定。儘管該運動員在社交媒體上否認所有指控,並表示已準備好接受審判,但其律師並未提供關於上訴的太多細節。此外,哈基米繼續其職業生涯,目前在美國舉行的 2026 年世界盃期間擔任摩洛哥國家隊隊長。審判的具體日期尚未確定。
Conclusion
The case now depends on whether the Court of Cassation decides that the referral to a criminal trial is valid.
此案件現在取決於最高法院是否決定將其移交刑事審判是有效的。
