BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — The rape trial involving Celta Vigo forward Santi Mina and another Spanish soccer player has closed with both men maintaining their innocence. A state prosecutor is asking for eight years of prison for Mina. The alleged victim's own lawyers are seeking 9 1/2 years. Ibiza player David Goldar is accused of being an accomplice.
