2022 FIFA World Cup Winner Accused of Gang Rape : Gonzalo Montiel is the subject of a rape complaint before the Argentine justice. The victim, according to her lawyer, received threats from the player’s entourage.
The famous Argentinian football player Gonzalo Montiel who plays for La Liga side Sevilla is suspected of gang rape.
Montiel was the scorer of the last penalty in the penalty shootout of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in Qatar as Argentina lifted the trophy at the expense of Kylian Mbappe’s France.
The lawyer of the alleged victim confirmed this on Thursday, explaining that the rape, for which Montiel is accused of, happened on 1st January 2019, during the celebration of his birthday, which was also the New Year’s celebration.
“The alleged act of rape occurred on January 1, 2019, during Montiel’s birthday party, and consisted of sexual assault with multiple penetrations at his home” the Spanish outlet Marca reports the words of the hired lawyer Rakel Ermida as he spoke to the “Desetka” radio station.
After the indictment, it was expanded because the alleged victim received death threats from the circle of close footballers, and she was even threatened by the footballer’s mother.
The two were otherwise in a short relationship and she arrived at the party with an invitation to meet his family, and everything changed after she had two drinks.
By the way, she is a model who does not consume alcohol, and for four years she remained silent about the terrible crime that happened in the house of the then River Plate football player.
From the summer of 2021, Montiel is a player of Sevilla, for whom he signed for 11 million euros and in the meantime he also became a world champion playing a very important role at the World Cup in Qatar.
Three days ago, he scored his first ever goal for Argentina against Curaçao as the World Cup winners won the friendly match by 7-0 with Lionel Messi hitting a hat trick to reach 102 goals for La Albiceleste.
