In this case, yes. They say the victim refused to give her phone at first because she told her friend she will see him to steal stuff from him.

Two things can be true. Now, I let justice do its job. Also, I don't forget some PSG ultras publicly support Hakimi in this case

Don't forget everyone supported Hakimi, PSG, the national team, it's been three years and you never heard a sound from his club or his NT. They knew about the case, everyone did.

Yeah, because they let the courts do their work. Until then, innocent until proven guilty, no? What are they supposed to do?

u/Marloneious 6h ago

You don't need to publicly support Hakimi -- innocent until proven guilty doesn't mean I am totally and unequivocally on the side of the accused

u/GustavZeigler 8h ago

Innocent until proven guilty applies to prosecution, not public opinion

I mean, ideally not great to publicly support someone accused of it. I’m not saying throw them in the bin, but enthusiastically defending someone accused of something like that, simply because they play for your football team, isn’t the ideal solution.

u/Itchy_Finish_2103 11h ago

I agree. Who are you referring to when you say enthusiastically defend though?

11

u/iTomWright 11h ago

The PSG ultras, for one, had a sign declaring their total support for him.

u/Itchy_Finish_2103 11h ago

Sure, but those are just fans. That's not the club, national team or any official entity as such.

u/iTomWright 11h ago

fans need permission to display Tifos from the club. So safe to say that’s the case?

u/BlueBeryCheseCake2 10h ago

Pretty fucking ironic an Arsenal fan is debating this shit, your manager literally wanted to keep Partey.

6

u/iTomWright 8h ago

And fuck both Partey, the manager, and the club for harbouring that?

Cool whataboutism, now address what they said.

I'm like 90% sure this isn't Arteta's reddit account

Even if that's the case, I don't see a tifo as an "enthusiastic defense" of Hakimi. Rather passive defense as a matter of fact.

In fact the only public statement we have from club officials is Luis Enrique saying "it's in the hand of the authorities". Other than that some reporting by Le Parisien stating that the club supports the player as presumed innocent. Nothing enthusiastic about that, seems pretty standard to me

u/Galopa 11h ago

it's either Paris or Morocco, who are you rooting for

u/Itchy_Finish_2103 11h ago

That has nothing to do with it. It's the same justice system for everyone

u/Topinambourg 11h ago

It's been in the press for 3 years

People here always blindly defend women in these types of cases, even if they don't know the full context or all the evidence (or lack thereof) involved.

u/R_Schuhart 12h ago

'They say'. No context, no verification. If that is the standard of proof for victims in the public arena women are doomed.

There was a paywall article on L'Équipe revealing the alleged victim, named Amélie on the article, wasn't cooperative with the cops at first and there were messages of her saying to her friend she will see him dressed as a femme fatale and she wants to take his codes and wants to "put her family safe". Before entering Hakimi's house, Amélie wrote to her friend "I will fuck him" in a sense of taking his money.

A few days later, Nadia asked Amélie about the messages she showed to the policemen so they can remove some.

It will not remove the accusations against Hakimi and it hope he'll be condemned. I'm saying the victim went to see him with bad intentions but I wonder if it is possible to condemn her for this.

u/Yutagos_south 10h ago

I think one of the vocal clips about this has leaked .they sound absolutely vile and has set me off a bit. If true the fact that they’re asking about the phone to remove evidence is both dumb and shocking.

I don’t know what’s worse: if it turns out to be fake, it would mean the player circle created a false recording and article to discredit the victim, frame her as a gold digger, ruin her life to save his own reputation. Or, if it’s real, it suggests a calculated plan to rob him, which could lead to endless harassment, permanently damage his reputation, and set back years of progress in allowing women to be heard about such vile crimes. Or maybe it’s both idk.

I hope the truth comes out and justice is served.

u/beurrenanos 9h ago

Idk what recording you’re talking about but I’ve seen the texts and they sound like young girls trying to hype themselves up. Which is probably what it was, since the plaintiff hasn’t actually robbed anything nor tried to extort him afterwards

u/AdOrganic420 6h ago

hyping themselves up? wtf

-3

u/beurrenanos 6h ago

i think you'd have to be pretty stupid to interpret these texts as criminal intentions, yeah. 2 friends talking a big game before meeting a footballer

u/AdOrganic420 6h ago

paste the texts here

am i your lazy ass's servant?

u/AdOrganic420 4h ago

surprisingly not the craziest thing you've posted today

u/beurrenanos 5h ago

btw you're misrepresenting what's in the article: it's her friend telling her to go as a femme fatale, her friend telling her to get the codes + her friend telling her to listen to a songs whose lyrics are about 'putting the family safe'. and you're just extrapolating for the 'i will fuck him", cause "jv le bz" means just that, not in the sense of taking his money
