French footballer Kylian Mbappé has defended his friend Achraf Hakimi, emphasizing his respect for women, even in instances where alcohol is involved.
According to information revealed by the newspaper “L’Équipe,” Mbappé provided testimony in relation to an investigation concerning allegations of sexual assault against Hakimi. This follows the public prosecutor’s request to refer the case to a criminal court.
In his statement from the spring of 2023, Mbappé characterized Hakimi as a “respectful person towards women.” He indicated that he has neither witnessed nor heard of any inappropriate behavior from Hakimi, even during occasions where alcohol was consumed. Furthermore, Mbappé noted that Hakimi was emotionally distressed following the news of the investigation, showing signs of shock and tears during a joint dinner that night.
