The professional soccer player Breel Embolo from Borussia Mönchengladbach fled over a roof from the officials after an illegal party early Sunday morning, according to the Essen police.
Embolo denies attending the party.
He had confirmed on Instagram on Monday that his personal details had been taken by the police.
However, he was not at the party.
The police found him in an apartment that was "in the immediate vicinity" of the place where it took place.
A police spokesman described the process on Wednesday as follows: When the police arrived, a person fled through a window on the roof from the corona-related closed restaurant on Baldeneysee in Essen.
The person ran over the roof to an adjacent apartment and entered the apartment through another window.
The police had gained access to the apartment and found a single person there.
This person was Embolo, said the spokesman.
"He was alone in the room," said the speaker.
And there was no way to leave the apartment undetected because the complex was surrounded by the police.
"That's why we assume that the man who fled over the roof was Embolo." According to the police report on Monday, the party with 23 participants neither kept distances nor wore masks.
Neighbors had called the police because of loud music.
None of the celebrants resides in Essen.
Most of them came from the Düsseldorf, Cologne and Stuttgart area, the statement said.
All 23 received a notice and were sent off.
For Embolos Klub Borussia Mönchengladbach, who deleted their attacker for the Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen, nothing changes initially: Embolo has credibly assured that he had not been at the party.
"As long as there is no other investigation result from the police, we believe Breel Embolo," said a club spokesman in response to the new information from the police.
