Erick Pulgar raises his voice after being acquitted of the rape complaint at his home: “I never cared about this person’s show”

Erick Pulgar breathes easily. The public prosecutor ended the investigation into the alleged rape that allegedly took place at a property belonging to the current Flamengo footballer at the end of June. The prosecution decided to close the case for lack of evidence. “Since, based on the information available, it is not possible to carry out activities leading to the clarification of the facts,” said San Bernardo Assistant Prosecutor Andrea Rocha.

The Antofagastino is relieved. “Obviously I understood that we are exposed to this kind of thing. (I’m) happy that the truth has been found,” says the Flamengo midfielder.

In the complaint to the Carabinieri, the victim, NPMV, said that he drank alcohol and did not remember anything else. She adds that, according to her vague memories, she had been abused by two people, whom she identified as friends of the national team. Nothing could be proven. “None of this could be verified and it is partly what led the courts to make their decision. Even from the other side, they tried to close the case by asking us for money, but I wanted the whole truth to be known because I was sure there was nothing to hide. I wasn’t ready to pay for something that smeared my name “says Poucet.

Pulgar testified as a witness, as he was not charged by the woman. “The truth, When they told me that a complaint of sexual abuse in my house had arrived, I felt sadness, because even though I knew nothing had happened, I was already imagining all the commotion that would be generated. I took it calmly anyway, we already knew it would end the way it ended, with the case filed because it was pure lies and nothing ever happened “, Condemns the chosen one, who claims to have consulted his friends and they denied all the accusations. “At no time did I doubt what they told me, because they are my friends and I know them well, they are the first not to want to make mistakes that could harm me. “, he argues.

“My entourage and my family were a little worried at the start of the accusation, but they clearly trusted me and my friends. Obviously in case it comes out that this is my house i was not charged so i calmed down that everything that was said was not true because there was a lot of media and pages that wrote things without investigating what was going on . Obviously, the headlines had my name on it and, even if it’s unfair, that’s how it is. I hope that the same people who wrote the complaint dedicate the same space to clarifying how the thing ended”, he develops.

The situation happened just as Pulgar sealed his signing with Flamengo. “Immediately, my representative contacted the leaders of Flamengo and Fiorentina and gave them all the information. They trusted us and it was never a problem. Of course, due to the publicity that the media gave to the complaint . There was a bit of movement among Flamengo fans, but I understand that they didn’t have the right information, they only read on portals or social networks that published everything that had nothing to do with the reality of what was happening. The important thing is that the club and its leaders financed us and I will always thank them, ”he explains now.

Next, try to graph your current feeling. “I don’t take it as a relief because I’ve never cared so much about this person’s show. Now that the file is closed, I am very happy because I always knew that the truth would come out and therefore all those who judged me would know the truth and it was I who wanted it to go to the bottom of the evidence. because we had proposals from the other side asking for money to close the case before, ”he deepens.

“I am also satisfied that many people have trusted me and showered me with messages of support and affection, so that good things can also come out of all the bad. I hope everyone who has written or said bad things takes the time and the same space to clarify the truth. “, he finishes.
