“It is a very trivial thing, it is an act due to the registration of the crime report: my client will be heard by the magistrate and will give his version of the facts. I am convinced that everything will be resolved in the best way ».
Gianluca Tognozzi, Stephan El Shaarawy’s lawyer, speaks in a calm and confident tone as he explains to La Stampa that the Roma striker’s registration in the register of suspects does not worry him at all. «The accused is a person who was stealing his car, he can say anything but everything must be ascertained. And Stephan will tell what happened when the interrogation is scheduled, which will certainly take place by the end of July “continues the lawyer of the Savona-based footballer who, after having foiled the theft of his Lamborghini in the capital four months ago, is now under investigation by part of the Capitoline Prosecutor’s Office.
The complaint
He may have beaten the 35-year-old Chilean pluri-prejudiced José Carlos Sagardia who, after being sentenced in May to one year and 4 months (for the crime of attempted theft derecognised by attempted improper robbery), filed a complaint against him for injuries. Complete with a medical report for a fracture of a rib and a foot, with a 60-day prognosis.
Open a file assigned to the prosecutor Carlo Villani who will hear El Shaarawy in the coming days.
Accuses him
The would-be thief already at the trial in which he was accused had declared that he was “chased and tackled” with a kick or a trip while fleeing, that he fell, he lost consciousness and then, upon awakening, he was surrounded and attacked by a group of people including the same “Pharaoh” as the attacker is nicknamed due to the Egyptian origins of his father. An alleged beating that if it were to be ascertained for the player could mean the risk of ending up on trial and of compensating the one accused of an attempted theft could turn into a victim.
The facts
The episode referred to dates back to last February 12 when Stephan El Shaarawy, who is now in Trigoria to resume training in view of the retirement on July 6, was at the home of the Arezzo player Alessio Cerci at Eur. It was afternoon and after playing the playstation he was looking out the window. Then the scene right in front of his eyes: next to his parked car, a flaming red Lamborghini, there was a man who, after breaking a window, was trying to steal it.
Thwarted theft
The footballer wasted no time, ran out of the villa, chased him, blocked him and immediately called the police. “The policemen of the Exposition police station intervened in civilian clothes and arrested the 35-year-old” confirms the deputy deputy commissioner of Rome Francesca Picierno.
