Flying Eagles midfielder, Daniel Daga, has been sentenced
to six months in prison by a Norwegian court for sexual
offence.
Reports said that Daga was found guilty of the offence by a
court in Nordmøre and Romsdal District in Norway.
The youngster will also pay 10,000 Norwegian kroner as
legal costs, as directed by the court.
The 18-year-old’s Norwegian club, Molde FK, has however,
declared that the player will appeal the ruling.
“The player has, through his defence attorney, notified an
appeal of the verdict. The case is therefore not legally
binding, and it will be treated further in the judicial
system,” the club said in its statement.
“This is a very demanding case for everyone involved.
Molde Football Club as an employer has a responsibility to
protect our employees in a defensive manner, while we
respect the seriousness of the matter and the burdens this
incur on all parties concerned.
“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.
“Regarding the further legal process and all parties
involved, Molde FK is not commenting on the matter
further at this moment.”
