In August, the Nanterre prosecutor's office requested a rape trial against Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi. In his final indictment, prosecutor Hervé Lollic cited «sufficient evidence». It is now up to the investigating judge to decide whether to dismiss the case in favor of the PSG vice-captain or refer it to a criminal court.
The Rotterdam court has requested to hear Moroccan intelligence chief Yassine Mansouri as a witness in the trial of Abderrahim El M., a former Dutch security official accused of «leaking state secrets» to Morocco. El M., who denies all charges, remains in pre-trial detention and insists he has «never, ever violated» the trust of the Dutch state.
