The students have terminated the contract of Diego García, the footballer who will go to trial for sexual abuse

Many are the players involved in the scandals, today, of Argentine football. Diego García, 25-year-old Uruguayan playmakerface a lawsuit for sexual abusewhere he has to go to trial.

Faced with this situation, the Estudiantes de la Plata decided this Tuesday to put an end “by mutual agreement” to the link it had with the institution, which has extended until June 2023.

The player was left center stage when Chiara Bulacioa young woman who played field hockey at the Pincha, accused him before justice of sexual abuse with carnal access. The episode allegedly took place in 2021, during a meeting in a private neighborhood, where other colleagues from García from the student campus also participated.

Despite this situation, Garcia’s career continued. He hasn’t played in the Leon anymorebut he was on loan to Talleres de Córdoba in 2021. In turn, at the beginning of 2022 he was loaned to the Patronato de Paraná, where he played his last match on 22 June. In that match, which pitted El Patrón against Sarmiento de Junín, Oriental scored a goal and received a red card.

His loan with Patronato ended in December of this year, but in the face of an interest from the Nacional de Uruguay he prematurely broke the relationship to go and play for the Uruguayan team. However, the stock market’s offering did not stop thriving. “I believe in the legal framework, in the principle of innocence, I believe that every person should have the right to work until they have a definitive judgment against them. This is my personal position, but I am also president of Nacional and my big challenge is to maintain unity. We believe that the best we can do to maintain this unity is to close this topic; Diego García will not play for Nacional “said José Fuentes, president of the Uruguayan team.

Now Estudiantes has also decided to break the link, setting a precedent for other complaints that have arisen in recent years of the same nature and where the clubs have behaved differently. El Pincha has a protocol on gender-based violence which was prepared by the Undersecretary of Gender and was made available to the complainant and her family from the very beginning.

In this case, a month ago, the judge of the Guarantees of La Plata Pablo Raele confirmed the request of the prosecutor Cecilia Corfield and raised the case in which the player is under investigation at the oral trial.
