Recent Achraf Hakimi news
Achraf Hakimi spoke for the first time about the rape case: “This is the best way to clarify things”
“I’ll be honest about it. It’s the first time I’m talking about it publicly with anybody. Because since (this story) happened two years ago, I haven’t said anything about it. It’s in the hands of the courts. That’s the best way to clear things up.”
Hakimi said in a video posted on Anas Bukhash’s YouTube channel.
Still steadfast in denying the allegations against him, Achraf Hakimi insisted on his version of events and on a possible blackmail attempt against him.
“They wanted to blackmail me and that’s why I filed a lawsuit, and it’s going well. The courts handled things pretty well. So, we’re in a lawsuit that’s going well and the justice system handled things pretty well.
And things will be resolved soon. The whole truth will be known and we will be able to talk more about it. But it taught me to trust a narrower circle of people than I had, not to trust too many people and that you have to be careful in this world,” concluded Hakimi.
