Fiorentina striker Albert Gudmundson won a court case in Reykjavík, on charges of sexual harassment, for which he was threatened with up to 16 years in prison.
In May, the Icelandic prosecutor's office continued to consider the case against the soccer player, which was started last summer.
As the well-known journalist Gianluca di Marzio announced, today the court of first instance in Reykjavík acquitted the Fiorentina footballer.
A court decision found Albert Gudmundson not guilty of sexual assault charges. The hearing was held behind closed doors to protect the privacy of the alleged victim. The girl can file an appeal within a month.
Due to the scandal, Gudmundsson was removed from the Iceland selection and was not in the team for the B League of Nations matches, the victory against Montenegro (2:0) and the defeat in Turkey (3:1).
