Former Villarreal footballer Ruben Semedo faces new problems with the law, after being accused of attacking his partner and detaining her at his home, before she could escape and report him to the police.
Semedo was arrested on Sunday (December 29) after being accused of domestic violence and illegal detention, according to Portuguese media.
Villa Franca de Zira police investigators explained that they intervened at Semedo’s home based on a complaint filed by his 30-year-old partner, who confirmed that he had attacked and forcibly detained her. .
According to the investigators’ report, the woman arrived at the police station in a state of extreme terror, with clear bruises on her body, explaining that Semedo had attacked her on Saturday evening and kept her in detention.
She was taken to hospital, where it was confirmed she had been a victim of domestic violence, prompting police to issue an arrest warrant, which was executed at 3am on Sunday. Semedo is currently at the PSP Metropolitan Police command post in Lisbon and is due to appear before a judge on Monday.
