Last month, French prosecutors called for the 26-year-old Morocco international to face trial over the allegations that he r@ped a 24-year-old woman that he had met over social media.
“I know that what I am accused of is a lie,” Hakimi told journalist Mouloud Achour in an interview for the “Clique” show to be aired on Canal+, a clip of which was broadcast on Wednesday night.
“I know that I have not done anything and that I would never do that,” the Madrid-born Hakimi said in Spanish.
“Today, I have peace of mind…. hoping that the truth will soon be revealed.”
Hakimi, who helped Morocco to their historic progress to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, was charged in March, 2023 with r@ping the woman.
Hakimi allegedly paid for his accuser to travel to his home on February 25, 2023, in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt while his wife, from whom he has since divorced, and children were away on holiday.
The woman went to a police station following the encounter alleging r@pe and was questioned by police.
Although the woman refused to make a formal accusation, prosecutors decided to press charges against the player.
Hakimi insists that he is the victim of an extortion attempt.
