Ex-Barcelona Star, Arturo Vidal Under Investigation For Alleged Sexual Assault

Published

on

Chilean football star Arturo Vidal and players from his first-division club Colo Colo are under investigation for alleged sexual assault, Santiago’s prosecutor’s office announced on Monday.

The investigation began following a complaint made against the players, though no arrests have been made yet, according to the prosecutor’s office. The names of Vidal’s teammates involved in the probe were not disclosed.

According to Chilean media, the alleged incident took place early Monday at a nightclub in Santiago, where some Colo Colo players were celebrating a birthday.

Police chief Gerardo Aravena reported that 37-year-old Vidal, who has previously played for Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Inter Milan, was brought to a police station for an identity verification.

Vidal, who has scored 34 goals in 142 appearances for Chile’s national team, faces this investigation shortly after another high-profile case involving former Chilean international Jorge Valdivia. Valdivia, 41, was recently placed in preventive custody following an accusation of rape, which he has denied, claiming it was a consensual relationship with an adult woman.

Valdivia was a key member of Chile’s “Golden Generation,” which won the 2015 Copa America, and also represented Chile in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
