Keeper and Spanish law

Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono is under investigation after colliding with Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, who died as a result of the incident. Reports say the goalkeeper is in shock and has disabled comments on his social media accounts after receiving insults. In sporting terms, Article 102 of the Spanish federation’s regulations provides for a four- to 12-match suspension for violent conduct causing serious injuries, but there is no automatic penalty when a player dies. Criminal liability could follow if negligence is established: imprisonment of one to four years in cases of gross negligence, or three to 18 months for less serious negligence. The competent authorities would assess the circumstances of the incident and the causal link; this does not mean that charges or a conviction would follow automatically.
