Villarreal football club recently signed a contract with midfielder Thomas Partey. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Currently, this player is accused of five counts of rape and one count of sexual violence in England. Club president Fernando Roig expressed his opinion on this situation.
According to Roig, the legal process is ongoing, and the player considers himself innocent and denies the allegations. The club adheres to the presumption of innocence.
This means that all evidence and circumstances must be thoroughly examined by the court. The club president emphasized that he condemns any form of violence but also stated that they respect the presumption of innocence.
At present, Partey has not been found guilty and has the right to continue his activities until a court ruling is made. For reference, Villarreal's team will face Real Oviedo in the first round of La Liga.
The club president expressed confidence that all processes will be conducted within the framework of the law and fairly.
