Justice rejected the release of Junior Benítez and he will face trial in prison. The footballer has been detained for just over a month.
He had violated house arrest and a perimeter restriction to avoid approaching his ex-partner, who took his own life on New Year's. He will begin trial on March 19. The soccer player was with Anabelia Ayala hours before the woman, who had reported him for gender violence, took her own life in her home in Malvinas Argentinas.
