MADRID, 4 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –

RC Celta announced this Friday its “firm decision” to “unilaterally terminate the employment contract of the player Santi Mina”, who was sentenced by the Almería Court to four years in prison for the crime of sexual abuse.

“After carefully analyzing the different legal alternatives available, as the club announced on July 19 after the pronouncement of the TSJA, today RC Celta has made the firm decision to unilaterally terminate the employment contract of the player Santi Mina “, says the Celtic.

In a statement, the Vigo team explains that it has “the determined support of LaLiga” and its decision “endorses” without any doubt the initial position of the club”. “From the first day the celestial entity stressed that the values ​​of RC Celta are above everything and that the club would defend them until the last consequences, including the repercussions that it could have on sports planning,” says the official note.

On July 19, the appeal section of the Civil and Criminal Chamber of the TSJA confirmed the ruling of the Almería Court, which sentenced the soccer player Santi Mina to four years in prison for the crime of sexual abuse. The sentence, appealed by the footballer’s defense, accepts the proven facts of the resolution of the Almeria Court, which recounted the sexual abuse that occurred in June 2017 in a van that was parked near a nightclub in Mójacar (Almería ).

“RC Celta is a hundred-year-old club born from an act of exemplary generosity and throughout its history it has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to society and the defense of values ​​that are already a hallmark of the club on countless occasions”, he concludes. the statement from a Celta who ends his relationship with Mina, a native of Vigo and a Celta player for most of his career, also spread over four years at Valencia.
