A team from the National Police moved to arrest a 29-year-old man of Hispanic nationality, identified as the alleged author of sexual offenses involving minors who were part of a youth football squad in Murcia. The case centers on meetings arranged with several young players in secluded places and outside of official club activities, with no registration of the meetings with the club.

Utilizing his position as a coach and mentor, the suspect allegedly exploited his authority to gain the trust of the minors and their families. He offered guidance aimed at improving physical development, presenting his role as a coach who could help with conditioning and performance training through certain physical routines.

After establishing contact with the young players, the suspect allegedly instructed them to perform push-ups during private sessions. It was during these moments that he purportedly exploited his proximity to the athletes, applying inappropriate physical contact and positioning himself in ways that violated personal boundaries.

Family members and guardians, aware of the troubling conduct, filed complaints with the National Police. They reported the incidents and urged swift action to safeguard the minors and prevent further harm, prompting an official inquiry to esclarecer the facts.

Police officers attended the scene, conducted the investigation, and proceeded with the arrest of the accused. The case was then presented to the courts, with measures implemented to protect the minors and ensure their safety while the legal process unfolds.

The National Police have not ruled out the possibility that other victims may exist, including individuals connected to the suspect through previous football clubs where he operated. The inquiry remains active as investigators pursue any additional evidence or victims who may come forward.
