He is suspected of assault and rape.

- He denies the acts and we want the arrest request to be rejected tomorrow, the player's lawyer tells local media.

It was in early April that a preliminary investigation against the player was initiated.

The SHL player denies guilt and has not been suspended by his club in the meantime.

Arrested on the higher suspicion

The suspected crimes are said to have taken place in mid-March.

The arrest petition states that he is suspected of assault and rape on probable cause, the higher degree of suspicion.

He has been under arrest since yesterday for not being able to remove evidence or complicate the investigation.

Tomorrow Wednesday is the arrest hearing.
