The Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie has been arrested in Rotterdam after a woman alleged sex attack on Saturday night. The Dutch prosecutors will consider today whether to bring a rape case against Arsenal's star Robin van Persie.
He has been arrested on Monday in Rotterdam after a woman alleged a sex attack on Saturday night.
According to Dutch law the police are allowed to question Van Persie for three days. That period can be extended to two weeks.
Famous Dutch lawyer Abraham Moszkowicz is representing Van Persie.
If convicted, van Persie could be jailed for a maximum of 12 years. Dutch courts rarely impose maximum sentence, the jail terms imposed are usually much shorter.
Arsenal so far remains silent about the case.
