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

“The truth is, when you’re successful and things are going well, you become an easy target for some people, and that’s taught me that you can’t trust many people around you.”

“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.

“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.
