Paris St-Germain and Morocco defender Achraf Hakimi is facing a criminal investigation after an allegation of rape was made against him.
Hakimi denies an allegation made by a 24-year-old woman that he raped her at his home in Paris on 25 February.
The player’s lawyer said Hakimi was the victim of “attempted racketeering”.
The Nanterre prosecution office said on Friday that Hakimi has been placed under police monitoring and was banned from contact with the alleged victim.
According to his lawyer, Fanny Colin, Hakimi, 24, “firmly denies all the accusations against him” and welcomes the investigation because “he finally has the possibility to defend himself”.
