PSG’s Moroccan defender Hakimi bids to have rape case dismissed

PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi, who is facing trial for alleged rape, will bid to have the case dismissed in court on Friday, AFP learned from a source close to the case. A hearing before the Versailles appeals court, west of Paris, will examine the case of the 27-year-old Morocco international who is to stand trial charged with raping a woman. If his appeal is rejected and the charges are not reduced to a more minor offense, the footballer will be tried on a date to be arranged.
