The footballer is due to appear before the provincial court of Almería this Thursday for the hearing in which he will decide whether to enter the provisional prison
Footballer Santi Mina is due to appear before the Provincial Court of Almería this Thursday for a hearing that will decide whether he will enter provisional prison to serve the four-year prison sentence he was sentenced to in the first instance for sexually abusing a woman in 2017 during a holiday in the municipality of Mojácar.
The appearance regulated in Article 505 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was initially set at 10 a.m., as stated in the ruling consulted by Europa Press and which quotes the former player of RC Celta de Vigo.
The hearing next Thursday comes at the request of the private prosecution, which was interested in the Third Section court that sentenced Santi Mina to his prison term pending the resolution of the appeals against the verdict announced in the Supreme Court. of Andalusia (CHA).
The charge estimates that Santi Mina’s march to Saudi Arabia to wear the Al Shabab team shirt during this 2022-2023 season has marked a “disproportionate increase in the risk of fleeing justice”.
It should be remembered that on August 23, RC Celta de Vigo and Al Shabab reached a lease that runs until June 30, 2023, when the player must return to the Spanish team. His incorporation was immediate.
Almeria’s provincial court sentenced Santi Mina to four years in prison in May and acquitted fellow footballer David Goldar, who had not been charged by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, although the victim put him on the bench because he considered him a necessary collaborator.
The sentence imposed on Mina, who allegedly did not act with violence or intimidation as the public prosecutor believed to qualify as a crime of sexual assault, but prioritized the sentence of five years’ probation and the payment of compensation of 50,000 euros for moral damage.
In addition, for 12 years he was prohibited from approaching within 500 meters of the victim, her home or other frequent persons and making contact with her through any direct communication, automated or telematic, written, verbal or visual. .
The court composed of magistrates Ignacio Angulo and Soledad Balaguer cites in its ruling as proven facts that Santi Mina, at around 4.30 pm on June 16, 2017, entered the van parked at a nightclub of the city of Mojácar, where the two defendants spent the night. and traveled with two other friends.
He did so “with only his underpants and surprised his friend David Goldar, who had previously gone to the van in the company of the woman, while he was having sex.”
When the victim was “surprised” in such a situation, “she sat on the bed, waiting for him to leave”, but Mina, “with a libidinal spirit and to satisfy her sexual appetite”, addressed her with the words ” look girl i like you a lot and i think we should do something.”
She replied at the time “that she had gone with David Goldar,” “turning around to ask him “if they were planning to.” When he turned around, the suspect stabbed, surprisingly, taking advantage of the superiority shown provided by the narrow and strange space, which he covered the only exit and she was in a state of shock, his penis directly into her mouth without asking,” he says.
The court added that she “pushed” him, but emphasized that, despite the victim’s lack of consent, he then pushed her back on the bed and inserted his fingers into her vagina.
“When the defendant found that he had to use violence to continue the sexual relationship, despite this clearly being his aim, he stopped his action, apologized and the victim left the place in a great state of fear,” concludes. he.
The psychological expert’s report found that the victim exhibited severe anxiety and depressive symptoms related to the events, “having suffered a lot in her day-to-day life from chronic post-traumatic stress disorder directly related to what’s going on.” happened”.
