The Portuguese defender of Olympiacos del Piraeus

Ruben Semedo

was arrested this Monday for allegedly raping a minor under 17, local Greek media reported.

The 27-year-old former Villarreal player was arrested at his home in the Glyfada neighborhood, on the outskirts of Athens, after the young woman reported him to the Security Directorate of the capital region of Atica.

According to media reports, in her complaint filed on Sunday, the minor assured that she met Semedo in a bar in Oropós, a municipality on the outskirts of Athens.

The young woman claims that he got her drunk there before taking her home, where he raped her.

The Portuguese footballer is expected to appear today before the competent Prosecutor's Office.

Following his weak performance in the game against Ludogorets (Bulgaria), in the framework of the Champions League qualifiers, which left Olympiacos out of the competition, the club were studying the possibility of releasing him and it was rumored that Torino and the Porto would have shown interest.

Conviction in Spain

During his time as a Villarreal player, in February 2018, Semedo was arrested and imprisoned for 142 days for kidnapping and assaulting a man at his private home in Valencia.

He faced charges of

illegal detention, injuries, robbery and illegal possession of weapons

and confessed in the trial to having pointed the kidnapped person and having threatened to cut off his finger for a debt of 5,000 euros contracted with a third party who mediated in the sale of a vehicle.

In 2020, the Valencia Court lowered the sentence imposed in the first instance from ten years in prison to five, but Semedo did not return to prison in exchange for the commitment

not to set foot in Spain in eight years

.
