Justice: Mbappé stands up for Achraf Hakimi

This Friday, RMC Sport reported that Achraf Hakimi had appeared before the investigative chamber of the Versailles Court of Appeal to request a dismissal of the case following the accusations he has faced since 2023.

At the moment, it’s Kylian Mbappé who is stoking the flames. The source reveals that in 2023, the Real Madrid striker gave a statement that caused confusion, notably writing that the Moroccan had "engaged in mutual caressing with the woman on intimate areas".

This was interpreted differently by the court, as Mbappé quickly clarified that he had specifically told the police "intimate areas" and not "the intimate areas". The plaintiff's lawyer explained that the two men's versions were contradictory, but the Madrid star was clear: nothing in his statement definitively indicated that his former teammate had touched the woman's intimate areas. The investigative chamber will now have to make a decision after considering all the evidence.
