\u200ctrial, even though I deny it and everything proves it\u2019s false,\u201d Hakimi said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThis is as unjust to the innocent as it is to the genuine victims. \u2060I calmly await this \u2060trial, which will allow the truth to come out publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Nanterre prosecutor\u2019s office in the French capital of Paris had opened an investigation in \u20602023 after a woman accused him of rape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The prosecutor confirmed on \u2060Tuesday that Hakimi\u2019s case had been sent to trial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hakimi\u2019s lawyer, Fanny Colin, also confirmed the trial order in a statement to the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cA trial has been ordered on the basis of an accusation that rests solely on the word of a woman who obstructed all investigations, refused all medical examinations and DNA tests, refused to allow her mobile phone to be examined, and refused to give the name of a key witness,\u201d Colin said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The plaintiff\u2019s lawyer, Rachel-Flore Pardo, said her client was relieved to hear the case was going to court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She said the judiciary had been exemplary in handling the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But its treatment in general showed \u201cthere are still areas where the #MeToo movement has not yet breached the sound barrier, chiefly in men\u2019s football\u201d, AFP quoted Pardo as saying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">PSG will face Monaco in Wednesday\u2019s return \u200cleg of their Champions League knockout round playoff tie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hakimi was in the initial \u200csquad \u200clist published last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">PSG coach Luis Enrique, when asked about Hakimi\u2019s situation at Tuesday\u2019s news conference, said: \u201cThis matter is in the hands of the authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
