Although the situation seems complicated for Ánthony de Ávila, detained in Italy for allegedly being part of a drug trafficking network, the idea of the largest shareholder of America, Tulio Gómez, is to shake hands with the former Samarian forward at this difficult time.
The leader confirmed to El País that they are analyzing how to help him who is considered one of the idols of the red box.
“We are finding out what Ánthony’s situation is right now to see how we can help him,” Gomez said.
The leader pointed out that “I have been talking with the daughter and she confirms that her father has no pending debts with the justice. In 2004 he had a situation in Italy, but they released him because they did not verify anything.”
And added the top leader of the scarlet team that “we are not going to leave Ánthony alone, we are not indolent with a player who gave so much glory to the team; we are going to talk to some people to help him.”
Everything indicates that the scarlet leader and America would put a lawyer to assume the defense of De Ávila, who runs the risk of paying a 12-year prison sentence for the crime of international drug trafficking.
The Italian lawyer who advises the former player recently told El País that De Ávila’s situation is difficult.
“My client’s situation is certainly very complicated because he was sentenced in 2004 to 12 years in prison for drug trafficking, which he must serve in prison in Italy. Normally, if a man is convicted of drug trafficking in Italy, he must serve all the sentence in prison without being able to obtain benefits. That is why my client’s situation is very complicated, I define it as an ‘impossible mission’ “, said the lawyer Fabrizio de Maio.
In any case, from Colombia, through Tulio Gómez and America, they began to work for the defense of the historic scorer of the scarlet cast.
