The Competition Committee has decided not to punish Fede Valverde for his alleged assault on the Villarreal player, Alex Baena, after the last league match played between the two teams.
As reported by Marca, said institution has archived the file and has accepted the allegations presented by Real Madrid and the soccer player's lawyers, who claimed that the federative process will be closed, given the decision of the Madrid Investigating Court to archive the case as there is not enough evidence for its verification.
After knowing the facts and the statements of both those involved and some witnesses such as Odriozola, the Competition Committee requested a five-game sanction for the Uruguayan footballer.
However, the intention of the Competition judge began to lose strength after the decision to close the case by the Ordinary Justice, as “the perpetration of the crime that has given rise to the formation of the cause was not duly justified.”.
On the occasion of the resolution, both the white club and Valverde's lawyers presented new allegations as they did not find much sense in the continuation of the federative process with the provisional dismissal of the complaint and as the criminal judge found some inconsistencies in the statements.
The events occurred on April 8, when, at the end of the match at the Santiago Bernabéu, the Villarreal players were on their way to catch their bus. There they met Valverde and Odriozola, who were waiting for their families, and the Uruguayan player, according to the first versions, allegedly attacked the 'groguet' midfielder.
