Daga maintains innocence – Lawyer
Flying Eagles star Daniel Daga has maintained his innocence after he was sentenced to six months in prison for sexual misconduct in Norway.
His lawyer, Astrid Bolstad, told TV2: “He is terribly sorry that the verdict was the way it was. He believes he is innocent and that everything happened with consent.
“The verdict is not final. He will be treated like everyone else until he is sentenced.”
This means the 19-year-old midfielder will continue to train with his Norwegian club, but will not be selected for matches until further notice.
Molde put up a statement Tuesday to this effect.
“This is a very demanding matter for everyone involved. As an employer, Molde Football Club has a responsibility to look after our employees in a responsible manner, while at the same time we have great respect for the seriousness of the matter and the burdens this entails for all parties concerned,” the club announced.
“Based on the situation and the ongoing legal process, the club has decided that the player will not be part of the match squad until further notice.”
