SportScope | Owono Could Face Criminal Investigation Following De Miguel's Death The tragic death of CD Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel could have legal consequences beyond football, with questions emerging over whether FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono could face a criminal investigation following their on-field collision. De Miguel, 30, died on Tuesday morning after sustaining serious injuries in the collision during Monday's Segunda División fixture, which ended prematurely with the score at 2-2. According to reports, Spanish law allows criminal liability to be considered where a person's actions cause death through gross negligence. Article 142 of Spain's Penal Code provides for potential prison sentences of between one and four years for causing death through gross negligence. Lesser negligence may attract a financial penalty. However, a red card or a tragic outcome does not automatically make a football challenge a criminal offence. Investigators would need to establish several important factors, including: • The position of the ball at the time of the collision. • The nature and manner of the goalkeeper's challenge. • Whether the collision could reasonably have been avoided. • Whether the actions went beyond the normal risks associated with professional football. • The medical evidence establishing the cause of death and its connection to the incident. De Miguel's family could pursue legal action if they believe there is evidence of criminal negligence. Importantly, the possibility of an investigation does not mean Owono has been found guilty of any wrongdoing. The incident raises a difficult question for football: Where should the line be drawn between an unfortunate sporting accident and potentially criminal negligence? SportScope will follow developments as more information emerges. #SportScope #JesusDeMiguel #JesusOwono #CDTenerife #FootballNews @Allsport TV @SBS Sport @Chuffed Events @TNT Sports Football @footballfact0012 @Jay Fams - @sportscope87
