Hakimi has denied all wrongdoing, and claims that he was being targeted by the victim for money.

'They wanted to blackmail me, so we filed a complaint, and it's going well. The justice system has handled things pretty well,' he noted, with his lawyers having filed a case for attempted extorsion, which is still ongoing.
Hakimi divorce was a result of ongoing case
After the case went public, Hakimi's then wife Hiba Abouk announced their separation. The actress and mother of his two children filed for divorce shortly after, citing the case as the central reason for their parting.
'I have always been and will always be on the side of the victims,' she noted, bearing in mind Hakimi, according to the testimony of the alleged victim, had been speaking to her for around a month. Abouk also espoused her faith in the French justice system to resolve the matter fairly.
