Administrator Stan Posted February 22, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted February 22, 2018 12 minutes ago, Cicero said: Honestly? that's what is being reported Quote The 23-year-old has been charged after an incident in which a man was allegedly threatened with a gun, assaulted and robbed Villarreal defender Ruben Semedo has been arrested and held without bail for kidnapping, theft and assault charges. On Thursday, Semedo was denied bail as a judge ruled he must be held in prison until his trial is complete due to a risk of escape or recidivism. The charges stem from an incident in which a victim was allegedly tied up, robbed, beaten and held by Semedo and two other men on February 12. Semedo and the other two men allegedly threatened to cut off the victim's fingers and fired a gun in his direction in an act of intimidation. The victim reportedly suffered a broken ankle and had a computer, several watches, and £21,000 stolen. Police also found an illegal firearm when searching Semedo's home following the incident. It wasn't the first off-field trouble for the Portugal U-21 international, who was also arrested in November for an altercation in a nightclub. That trial is still yet to take place. The 23-year-old signed for the Yellow Submarine from Sporting CP during the summer but has only made four La Liga appearances due to injuries.

SirBalon Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yep... This case has been in the Spanish media headlines for a while and to be honest it sounds absolutely mental and he looks very culpable and will probably do a long stretch in prison.

Machado Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Don't think Villarreal will be signing any Sporting Lisbon players any time soon... €14M for a gangster. When you're playing in La Liga and making good money you've pretty much made it in your life, and the only crime you should be commiting is tax dodging These ghetto kids that become footballers sometimes go down the wrong path and waste their talent, but I've never heard of something quite like this. He must be surrounded by terrible people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With lazy statements like this you can also drawn nonsensical similarities between a 'crime of passion' and the holocaust, as they are both homicide. You know there is a difference between someone getting in a car with a drunk person and dying in a crash, and someone being attacked during a burglarly.

Cicero Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Intent is the main difference here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Intent to murder is a big time crime. This ain’t ABH or GBH... This is the law stating you intended to kill someone (murder) and failed in that attempt. That accusation if proved beyond a reasonable doubt is almost at the level (very little between the two and is negligible as to punishment) of committing murder itself.

Social structures and everything that surrounds them are to blame here. Now whether you want to ultimately blame capitalism or governments themselves, we can have a debate. But this is the result and a career based on a lack of cultural assimilation and a good upbringing is paramount. This is class difference at the essence of the problem.
