Manchester United goalkeeper, David De Gea has rubbished claims that he allegedly arranged a sexual encounter in 2012 between two Spain under-21 players and two women in a Madrid hotel, which is being investigated by police as part of a pornography case.
Although De Gea did not elaborate about the case late on Friday, he repeatedly said the reports were false.
“I am surprised by the news. It is serious and false,” De Gea said. “These accusations give me more strength to train harder and help the team. They can say all they want, it is all false. I will keep training in the face of this.”
Spanish media, citing police sources, reported that De Gea has not broken the law.
According to ESPN, the statement by a witness was made to during an investigation of former pornography impresario Ignacio Allende Fernandez, known “as Torbe,” who was arrested in April 2016 and is accused of crimes including sexual exploitation, sexual aggression, human trafficking, child pornography, extortion, blackmail and tax fraud. This testimony comes from a minor, whose identity is protected, and has not been confirmed.Although De Gea did not elaborate about the case late on Friday, he repeatedly said the reports were false.
“I am surprised by the news. It is serious and false,” De Gea said. “These accusations give me more strength to train harder and help the team. They can say all they want, it is all false. I will keep training in the face of this.”
Spanish media, citing police sources, reported that De Gea has not broken the law.
“I am more surprised than anyone about this,” De Gea said. “Of course I am staying with the team. I have great support from my teammates and am even more looking forward to this Euros now. It is something false which has come out in the press, now in the hands of my lawyers. This gives me more strength to train more, to help the team however I can.”
David De Gea said none of the allegations that emerged in the Spanish press on Friday are true.
“I was in the room on the PlayStation and heard the news,” he said. “Above all I wanted to tell my family, so they know this is all false, and they can be relaxed. I remain a very relaxed guy and few things can change that on the pitch or off the pitch. I am still very relaxed, just want to train and do what I like to do. I am not thinking about leaving the camp, not at all. I just want the tournament to start and hopefully I will be able to play.”
