The former Argentine player was denounced for acts of sexual assault that occurred on January 1, 2019 at his home in La Matanza.
The defense of the Argentine footballer Gonzalo Montiel requested his dismissal in the case investigated by a alleged sexual abuse by the former River, which would have occurred on January 1, 2019 at his home in The Slaughter.
The brief presented by the lawyers Daniel Rubinovich and Rafael Sallari stated: “We have come to urge the dismissal of our assisted person, based on the fact that the evidence given determines their alienation from the fact under investigation in this file”.
In that sense, he noted that ““There has been a notable dissonance between the reality of the facts and the version constructed by the complainant.” Going deeper into the matter, the document noted that on January 10, 2019, the complainant had indicated to “Alexis Acosta as responsible for sexual abuse.” However, they assured that “in a surprising turn without logical basis, more than four years later, the complainant mentions Montiel based on an alleged ‘appearance’ of his face during an unspecified event that oscillates between the spiritual and the dreamlike.”
“This accusation has triggered exhaustive evidentiary measures that, Far from corroborating the accusations against Montiel, they have demonstrated his innocence, in addition to a series of inconsistencies and contradictions in the complainant’s story. The testimonies collected and the material evidence clearly and consistently point to the fact that “Montiel was not present at the events under investigation,” he added.
Finally, the document presented hours before the match in which the Argentine team will host Peru on matchday 12 of the qualifying rounds ended: “In conclusion, when evaluating the set of evidence and testimonies, It is clear that Gonzalo Montiel has nothing to do with the alleged sexual abuse if it existed. “The evidence points to an unfounded accusation, motivated by personal factors and sustained through an inconsistent and contradictory story.”
The complaint against Gonzalo Montiel
The incident would have occurred on January 1, 2019. The complainant confirmed the complaint in March of last year, and since then Montiel has been charged with “sexual abuse with carnal access aggravated by the participation of two or more people.”
The defending world champion had appeared to testify in June last year, denying all accusations. From the La Matanza prosecutor’s office, they had stated: ““an informative statement was received, since at the moment there are not sufficient elements or strong indications of the commission of a crime.”
