San Lorenzo keeper Pablo Migliore remains in jail | |
(about 17 hours later) | |
The goalkeeper of Argentine first division club San Lorenzo has appeared in court in Buenos Aires, after being arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting an alleged murderer. | |
Pablo Migliore has refused to testify and will remain in jail. | |
Migliore's lawyer, Matias Morla, reaffirmed his client's innocence and said he would wait until Wednesday to request his release. | |
Migliore, 31, was arrested when he came off the pitch on Sunday. | |
"The crime he is charged with allows for his release," said Mr Morla. | |
"The next 48 hours will be crucial. We will then need to wait for a decision by the judge, which could take 10 days. In the meantime, he will remain in prison," said Mr Morla. | |

"He wasn't expecting this; we'll ask for his release and the club will respect his contract," Mr Lammens said. | |
