Irish police (Garda) on Tuesday said they would not “comment” on international inquiries after Spanish authorities supposedly reopened investigations into an alleged assault on a woman by fighter Conor McGregor.
Irish media say today that a court in Ibiza, in the Balearic Islands, is re-investigating this incident, which allegedly took place on July 17 on the mixed martial arts star’s yacht during an onboard party to mark his 34th birthday. . .
According to the tabloid The Irish Sun, the woman, a 42-year-old Dubliner, lodged a complaint with the Garda after she returned to Ireland days later and the Garda later reported it to the Spanish police, who launched an investigation but suspended it because it alleged victim has not made a full statement in the jurisdiction of the incident.
The reopening of the case follows a request from the plaintiff’s defense, this outlet said, adding that the Spanish court could call McGregor to testify.
A spokesman for Garda explained to EFE today that the agency “does not comment” on “named individuals” and stressed that “an investigation in Spain is a matter for the Spanish authorities”.
“As with any international investigation, the Garda has cooperated with international authorities and will continue to do so at their request,” the source said.
The aforementioned tabloid includes a statement today from McGregor’s spokeswoman, Karen Kessler, in which she insists that the athlete “resolutely rejects each of these allegations.”
“More than six months ago the incident was alleged and after investigation by the police, the case has not moved forward,” said the spokeswoman.
