New Chicagoa club that plays in the First National of the soccer Argentine, announced the hiring of the Colombian Andres Escobar and generated outrage among his fans, since the forward has a two-year prison sentence for sexual abuse.
The transfer market in the Primera Nacional is coming at a good pace and with several surprises, however, the Mataderos entity never imagined that it would cause a stir with one of its incorporations and even more so because of an extra football issue.
In the last few hours, Nueva Chicago announced the hiring of Escobar and caused outrage on social networks due to his criminal record, since He was sentenced to two years in prison for sexual abuse in Iceland, while he was a Leiknir Reykjavík player.
“The player Andrés Escobar signed a contract with our institution. The 32-year-old offensive midfielder will be linked to Nueva Chicago until December 31, 2024. He arrives free with the pass in his possession,” they expressed from the club.
Since he was convicted by the Icelandic justice system, the 32-year-old attacker has not played again and has had significant inactivity: the incident occurred in 2021, when he had sexual relations with a young woman who was under the influence of alcohol and did not pay attention. consent.
“He took advantage of the fact that he could not resist the incident because he was intoxicated”the authorities assured.
Although Escobar acknowledged that he was with that girl, he denied the abuse and therefore appealed to the ruling of Justice, which also took away his passport so that he would not emigrate, although he managed to return to Colombia with the help of the Colombian Association of Professional Soccer Players. .
“Quijano helped me a lot, the one from the union. I also found a friend who was a big fan of Millonarios who had contacts in Iceland and Spain and thanks to him I was able to leave,” he said on his return to Colombia.
The truth is that this will be his fourteenth team in his career, and he will have his second experience in Argentine soccer after his time at Estudiantes de La Plata.
A significant fact is that in almost all the clubs he played for, he suffered termination due to behavioral problems, something he repeated in the Colombia Under 20 team.
