No basis for Jonas's arrest - legal team 0 The legal practitioners representing boxer Jonas Junias Jonas have filed an application to set aside the arrest and preliminary hearing proceedings or alternatively an order for clearing the charge arguing that “based on the complainant''s version, there was no rape.”This was revealed in a statement released by the Namibia National Olympic Committee (NNOC), on the current position of Jonas based on the latest information from the law firm in Rio de Janeiro.
According to the NNOC, the files were with the prosecution until 4 October for consideration. The prosecution has indicated that they will oppose the application. It also says the docket has been allocated to a judge and the parties are awaiting a decision by the judge to pronounce how the matter will be dealt with.
Jonas was released from police custody following allegations of attempted rape of a housekeeper at the Olympic Village in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil two months ago.
Jonas is in the custody of the Namibian Embassy in Brazil while he waits to hear the judge''s decision on the case.
