The defender of the French football club (FC) Lens and the Argentine national team player Facundo Medina were detained on charges of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. It is reported by the L’Equipe edition on Sunday, December 26.
The incident took place in the apartment of the Argentine footballer in Pas-de-Calais on the night of December 24-25. An ex-girlfriend came to the football player to celebrate Christmas. There, a quarrel broke out between Medina, his ex-girlfriend and her father, which ended with the use of physical force.
The footballer himself denies the accusations of violence, writes Sport-Express.
Lance’s press service has already responded to the incident, calling for a fair trial.
“The club learned that one of the team’s players was the subject of criminal proceedings due to a private dispute. In this case, there are many unclear circumstances – the club calls for maximum restraint and gives the competent authorities the right to shed light on the facts of this case, ”the statement said.
Medina has been playing for French Lens since summer 2020.
Earlier, on December 12, it was reported that the former coach of the youth teams of Barcelona, Albert Benayges, was suspected of sexually assaulting underage players.
Only 60 people testified against the ex-trainer. According to them, the man, in particular, masturbated next to 13-year-old boys, showed pornographic films to teenagers of different genders, and also touched them.
