Achraf Hakimi’s wife Hiba Abouk ‘dumps’ PSG star and posts ‘family first’ holiday snap after he’s accused of rape
PARIS Saint-German star Achraf Hakimi has reportedly been dumped by his wife after his shock rape accusation.
French prosecutors confirmed today the World Cup ace, 24, is facing formal charges after his alleged victim went to police last week.
He is accused of raping the woman after inviting her to his home while his wife Hiba Abouk was on holiday with their kids.
Reports in her native Spain claim TV actress Hiba, 36, had already been estranged from him for weeks.
They have not been seen together in public for months.
And following the rape allegation she is “accelerating” proceedings to separate for good, according to Cierre Digital.
She has not publicly commented, but an Instagram post shows her walking on a Dubai beach with her two young sons.
She captioned it “Adding moments”, and added the hashtags “family first” and one translating as “I’d die for mine”.
Madrid-born Hakimi – who plays for Morocco – is known as the north African nation’s answer to David Beckham.
In December he became a national hero when his winning penalty against Spain put Morocco through to the World Cup quarter-final for the first time.
He met Spanish actress Hiba while playing for Borussia Dortmund and they married in a secret ceremony in 2020.
Their first son was born that year and another two years later.
In October the A-list couple posed together in a stunning photoshoot in Vogue Arabia.
Hakimi “strongly denies” the rape allegation, his lawyer Fanny Colin said.
She added the decision to charge him would give him the opportunity to defend himself.
An investigating magistrate will now examine the case.
According to Le Parisien, Hakimi had been talking to the alleged victim on Instagram since January 16.
Last Saturday he allegedly paid for an Uber to drive her to his home in a Paris suburb.
She claimed he assaulted her before she was able to free herself by kicking him then texted a friend to pick her up.
The woman went to a police station on Sunday, but reportedly said she did not want to press charges.
Prosecutors launched an investigation due to the seriousness of the allegations.
Yesterday it was reported PSG star Hakimi was questioned by prosecutors and denied wrongdoing.
PSG has not suspended the defender, who returned to training today.
He was sidelined by injury last week but was expected to be fit for tomorrow’s game against Nantes
Before today’s news of the formal rape charge, coach Christophe Galtier said he hoped Hakimi would play in the crucial Champions League clash against Bayern Munich next week.
On Monday, Hakimi received loud applause at a Fifa awards ceremony as he was named in a world team of the year.
Hakimi was credited for helping his national team reach the historic semi-final in the 2022 World Cup, the first African country to do so.
