Is Trauco accused of sexual abuse?

At Alianza Lima (PER), the left-back became the target of an investigation for sexual abuse against an Argentine woman. According to the alleged victim, she was assaulted at a hotel in Montevideo during the squad’s preseason.

The Peruvian team’s fans were outraged with Trauco. As a result, Alianza Lima supporters stormed the club’s training center intending to drive the former Flamengo player out of the premises. Still in January, the club announced the termination of the winger’s contract.

How did Trauco do at Flamengo?

Flamengo signed Trauco in December 2016. In 79 matches wearing the Sacred Jersey, the left-back scored four goals and provided three assists. In addition, he won the Campeonato Carioca titles in 2017 and 2019, and was also part of the 2019 title-winning squad.

First, the Peruvian lost ground at the Rubro-Negro to Renê. Then, the arrival of Filipe Luís made the defender the third option at left-back. As a result, the wing-back transferred to Saint-Étienne, which brought around R$ 2.4 million to Mengão.
