Overview
- The 62-year-old former recruiter for Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid is on trial on nine counts of sexual assault on minors, corruption of a minor, and possession of child pornography.
- Prosecutor Caroline Parizel requested eight years in prison with continued detention, mandated treatment, a ban from sports venues, a no-contact order with complainants, and a prohibition on work involving minors.
- The complaints cover alleged acts between 1997 and 2002 and again in 2021–2022 by six men who now allege forced masturbation, genital touching, sexualized messages, and exposure to pornographic material.
- The court reviewed SMS and images read aloud by the presiding judge, including apologies after intimate touching and pornographic comics sent to youths, which the defense says are misinterpreted.
- Olhats denies all accusations and characterizes his conduct as affectionate; he previously received a suspended sentence in 1991 for indecent assault, and Antoine Griezmann is not among the complainants and told investigators he observed no such behavior.
