Vélez’s goalkeeper, Sebastián Sosa, will be able to return home after paying 50 million pesos. The other three footballers must wait for trial in Tucumán.
The archer of Velez Sebastián Sosa, who had been charged as a secondary participant in the complaint of sexual abuse against three other soccer players on the team, will be able to return to his home after paying a bond of $50 million. However, he must appear every 15 days in Tucumán and will be prohibited from leaving the country for 90 days until judged.
The Uruguayan will be released from prison after the judge Eliana Gomez Moreira accept payment of the bond. Now, the former Boca and Independiente will be able to wait for the resolution of the case at his home. Once released, the goalkeeper said that he “fully” trusts the Justice of Tucumán.
“I am innocent and all I want is for the truth of all this to be known. I don’t want to go into details and things because lawyers can speak better. I have nothing to say to her (to the complainant)”, declared the Uruguayan.
“I repudiate all acts of violence, I said it from day one. From the first moment I put myself in that position and it is what I maintain to this day. I am satisfied with the task of my defense. I experienced it like any person deprived of his freedom. Thank God I can go home,” added Sosa.

The situation of the other three Vélez players accused of abuse
The judge who accepted the payment for Sosa to be released denied the same appeal for José Florentín, Braian Cufré and Abiel Osorio. Although the judge had ordered the house arrest of the three Vélez soccer players, she rejected this Tuesday the appeal presented by their defense lawyers. For the moment, these three footballers must pay bail of 50 million pesos. Once the sum has been paid, Cufré, Osorio and Florentín must remain for 90 days in a private home in the northern province, with electronic anklets, while they wait for the oral trial.
