2016-06-11 11:33:00 from:SNTVManchester United and Spain goalkeeper David de Gea was reportedly implicated in a Spanish rape case on Friday (10th June), potentially jeopardising his participation in Euro 2016.
Spain goalkeeper David De Gea has been named in an investigation into a sexual assault by a protected witness.
Known only as TP3, the witness alleged that the Manchester United keeper arranged a sexual encounter between two Spanish players and two women in a Madrid hotel in 2012.
In testimony quoted on Friday by Spanish news outlet El Diario, the witness, who is under police protection, said that she was threatened and coerced into having sexual relations with Athletic Bilbao's Iker Muniain and and Real Madrid's Isco.
The witness testimony is part of the case against jailed pornography impresario Ignacio Allende Fernandez, known as "Torbe,"
He was arrested in April on charges of child pornography, sexual exploitation, sexual aggression, human trafficking for pornography, extortion, blackmail and tax fraud.
Spanish national team officials did not make De Gea available to the media on Friday and did not address the subject.
The player denies the claims.
