The case of accusation of sexual assault weighing on Gonzalo Montiel may take over at the request of the prosecutor Luis Alberto Brogna of dismissing the case citing the lack of conclusive evidence and “contradictions in the complainant’s story.”
The Sevilla full-back and world champion in the Argentine national team has been accused of aggravated sexual assault against a girl at the player’s birthday party held at his home in the La Matanza district of Buenos Aires. The events began on January 1, 2019 when he was a River Plate football player and was denounced by his ex-girlfriend, an Argentine model who said he was invited to the party and after feeling offended by “a few drinks” given them to him, He lost consciousness and the brother and mother of the soccer player told him that he was raped in a more serious incident, according to the complainant, that several people intervened in the act and then he received threats from Montiel’s mother and brother. that he did not file a complaint or that, if applicable, he did not mix the player “due to the importance” of his membership in the River squad.
The complainant’s lawyer, Beatriz Hermida, asked that the investigation not be closed and that another prosecutor take over the case, which is already in the hands of the judge’s decision.
This matter has a big impact on Sevilla’s transfer market, as the Andalusian club wants to get rid of its player and the Argentine is one of its assets in the market. However, after his last loan at Nottingham Forest, several clubs showed interest in the player, such as PSV Eindhoven, who reached an agreement with Sevilla on a loan with a mandatory transfer for around 4 million euros and was later rejected because of this situation. which is pending in the Argentine justice system. In fact, between September and October he missed several days at the League when he had to travel to Buenos Aires to testify at an expert hearing.
In Sevilla, García Pimienta gave him some minutes and played more as a left back, in spare minutes, than in his real position, where Carmona became irreplaceable and where the Barcelona native also had Jesús Navas, on the verge of retirement, and Juanlu.
