The brothers Iñaki and Nico Williams, players at the Athletic Club, have issued a joint statement confirming the existence of a complaint against both, but denying that they "committed any crime" by buying a luxury car.

The lawsuit filed in a court in Aoiz (Navarre) for alleged bribery fraud was published yesterday, Wednesday, by media the day after the statements of the red-white captain, Iñaki Williams, to the media about the far-right. The player said that "now that the far-right seems to be in fashion, those of us who have a voice will continue to work, respond and throw barriers."

The one who will be the first black captain in the history of Athletic this season stressed at a press conference on Tuesday that the echo that football gives them allows them to explain what people who come in search of a better life do "here." The Vox party and other actors on the right ultra quickly responded to the footballer.

According to various media reports in the last few hours, the Williams have been charged and charged with appropriating a luxury car worth 79,000 euroswithout paying.

According to this information, the complaint has been filed by the Omnigestion 24 SLU car sales company, according to which the Williams used an intermediary to obtain the vehicle.

"Once we know from the media that there may be a complaint against us, once we have the information, we can confirm that a complaint has been filed based on facts that do not correspond to the truth, "footballers point out in the note posted on their social networks.

"Faced with this situation, we categorically deny the commission of any crime. There is no factual or legal basis for charging criminal conduct," they add, stressing that the complaint "deliberately conceals and distorts what actually happened."

It is clear that the purpose of this unfounded accusation is to harm our personal and professional image in order to compel us to make an unfair payment.

"It is clear that the purpose of this unfounded complaint is to damage our personal and professional image in order to force us to make an unfair payment. We have full confidence in the Spanish judicial system and will help to clarify the facts," they explained.

Iñaki and Nico have said they are "very calm because they have done nothing illegal or contrary to the values that have guided their lives so far, both personally and professionally. "

"When all is clarified, we shall take action against all those who have been falsely accused and used this information to damage our image and honour," the note adds.
