The lawyer of the victim of sexual abuse in which the footballer Santi Mina was sentenced to four years in prison has asked the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia (TSJA) to order the “immediate” admission to a penitentiary center of the striker.
Lawyer Iván Bolaño stressed in a letter, presented in August and consulted by EFE, that the sentence imposed by Provincial Court of Almería It was ratified in July by the TSJA, after which his client “became aware of recent and novel information that significantly changes the defendant’s situation.”
In this sense, note that the Celta Vigo Mina’s contract was terminated as a result of this decision, which “means, at the moment, there is no work relationship linking the convicted person to Spain, which is precisely the reason why the defense called when the convicted person moved last season in a full year in Saudi Arabia.”
The lawyer maintains that if a sentence is granted, the imprisonment will be “mandatory”, especially since he no longer has a job or professional relationship that “tied” him to Spain, which also has “an unquestionable economic capacity (of more than a million euros per year that he would have received) that would allow him to establish himself, without problems, in any country in the world.”
Also, it affects that for a year, the same where he is loaned to Al-Shababis “living and adapting” to Saudi Arabia, a country “6,650 kilometers” from Spain with which there is no extradition treaty.
“These elements undoubtedly represent the real and material possibility of a escape our country completelywhich will make it impossible to ensure compliance with the two judgments issued against the convicted person,” he added.
For this reason, it requires that as its “primary and appropriate proposal”. immediate entry into prison or, failing that, he will be forced to present “apud acta” (in person) before the TSJA on a weekly basis, as well as to “be called upon,” and that, in addition, his passport will be revoked and he will not be allowed to leave country. .
As recently as September, the lawyer presented to the TSJA a second brief in which he asserted these same demands, because despite the “repetition of the defense -by Mina-” his supposed willingness to justice, had “again tried to leave the country for apparent work reasons.”without notifying” the High Court.
He pointed out that he tried to “formalize a work contract abroad, having only heard about it and exclusively through the press”, and maintains that the footballer’s departure from the country did not happen because his signing Sampdoria “was held back by complaints from fans.”
“This predictably leads us to understand that the convicted person continues to look for work outside the country to have a reason to leave it, which, as this party has always maintained, greatly increases the risk of escape and compliance with the imposed sentence,” he said.
