FLORENCE (Italy): Italian footballer
Manolo Portanova
of
Serie A
team
Genoa
has been placed under house arrest along with two other people on rape charges, a judicial source said on Friday.
Neither his lawyer
Gabriele Bordoni
, Italian police or the club were able to comment immediately on the case.
The source, who was not authorised to speak to the media, told Reuters a 23-year-old woman informed police she had been raped by four men - aged between 21 and 24 - in an apartment in the central city of Siena after dinner at a restaurant on May 31.
Portanova, 21, and two others were arrested following investigations and magistrates ordered a search of their phones, the source added. He will be questioned on Monday.
Portanova, a midfielder, joined Genoa last January from
Juventus
and played three matches last season.
