PSG
issued
a
statement
to
French
media
after
the
initial
complaint
was
filed
against
the
footballer.
The
club’s
statement
was
supportive
of
Hakimi,
stating
he
had
“firmly
denied
the
accusations
and
trusts
justice”.
The
club
added
in
that
statement:
“PSG
is
an
institution
that
promotes
respect
on
and
off
the
pitch.”
L’Equipe
quoted
Hakimi’s
lawyer,
Fanny
Colin,
as
saying
Hakimi
“firmly
denied
the
accusations
made
against
him”
when
he
spoke
to
police
on
Thursday.
She
added
in
a
statement
to
the
newspaper:
“In
my
opinion,
it
follows
from
the
documents
which
are
in
the
hands
of
the
judicial
police
that
Mr
Hakimi
has,
in
this
case,
been
the
subject
of
an
attempted
racketeering.”

asked
by
the
media
on
Friday,
PSG
head
coach
Christophe
Galtier
said
that
he
would
not
answer
any
non-football
questions
about
Hakimi.
Asked
for
an
update
on
the
player’s
injury,
Galtier
said
he
hoped
Hakimi
would
be
fit
to
face
Bayern.

when
he
left

was
