After the victim’s complaint, as soon as the perpetrator learned that Rhodes Police was looking for him, he voluntarily presented himself to the Police.
In fact, he showed remorse for his act, with a written statement on social media.
It states:
“After 15 years of playing on the Dodecanese football pitches, this is the first time I have lost control and this action will definitely mark me for life. I believe that all these years I have not shown such signs and therefore the apology is the least I can do for everything that has been done. I want to apologize to Manolis Nasopoulos whom I injured with my unacceptable action. I don’t even want to think about how much worse damage I could have done to him. Also, a big apology to the club of Poseidon Karpathos, the people who were at the stadium and to the entire Dodecanese football that I stigmatized with what happened. I am 100% sure that at this moment I am setting an example to be avoided, however I want everyone to know that I am bitterly sorry for my action and I am ready to face the consequences.”
According to reports, everything has been recorded on the match sheet by the referee and in the observer’s report, while something worth mentioning is that after the hit, it did not seem to realize how serious the injury was. Be that as it may, the next few days will be important for the development of the case… Also, let’s note that the match ended normally, after the teams played another two minutes, with Herakles winning 2-1. Both the home team and the player, however, apologized in writing, but Poseidon seem determined to see the issue through to the end…
