Justice authorizes Rafa Mir to sign for Aris after being sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for sexual assault

The Spanish court has authorized footballer Rafa Mir to relocate his residence to Greece, where he will play for the Aris Salonika club, despite being sentenced to eight years and six months in prison for sexual assault. The decision was made by the Valencia Appeals Court, which approved his request under the condition that he visits the Spanish consulate in Thessaloniki once a month. Mir, who previously played for Valencia CF, was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman he had met at a bar in Betera on August 31, 2024. His appeal against the sentence is ongoing, as he claims evidence was omitted from the verdict. He expressed hope that justice will continue its course while focusing on his career.

Another player was also convicted for similar charges against another woman. Mir previously claimed that evidence presented during the trial was not included in the verdict and expressed confidence in continuing his legal fight.
