Last Wednesday, the 12th, the Peruvian club published a note in defense of its employee, and repudiating the actions of the Brazilian police, who would be “arresting someone without evidence”. In addition, the statement also cited that the “honor of his professional would have been tarnished with an inadmissible, humiliating and outrageous act”.
Already this Thursday, the 13th, Sebastian’s defense filed a request for Habeas Corpus, so that the Uruguayan responds to the accusation in freedom. With the passport already seized, his lawyers defend that the monitoring system of the modern Arena Corinthians could identify the act in the final minutes of the game.
