The lawyer of the indicted KFUM player: – A shocking experience for him
The lawyer representing one of the KFUM players facing charges in a match-fixing case describes the accusations as shocking and claims the player maintains his innocence amid media scrutiny.
The lawyer for one of the KFUM players indicted in a match-fixing case has expressed that his client is in shock over the serious allegations against him. Both Usama Ahmad and Jonas Berge, attorneys for the players, state that neither has admitted to guilt regarding the accusations. Ahmad highlighted the stress that his client has experienced, especially given the media's early identification of the players involved, which intensifies the situation's pressure on them.
The comments from the lawyers come in the wake of their clients being subjected to arrest and search, though they emphasize that neither player has been formally charged. The legal representatives are currently without access to case documents, making it challenging to offer detailed commentary on the specific nature of the evidence the police have gathered. Ahmad noted that this lack of clarity only adds to the burden on the players, who are attempting to comprehend their involvement in the ongoing investigation.
In total, seven individuals are implicated in the match-fixing scandal, highlighting the severity of the situation within Norwegian football. Berge reflected on his client's feelings of bewilderment at being named in the media and the public's attention, further complicating the players' ability to navigate these serious accusations. As the legal proceedings unfold, the pressure from public and media scrutiny remains a significant concern for those involved.
