According to sources in Spain, the police received a call from Hospital del SAS informing that they had a 23 year old woman in their care who showed signs of abuse. The young woman, who was identified as Barbera's girlfriend, received medical treatment for contusions and bruises and spent the night in hospital.
Barbera is expected to face an expedited trial under Spain’s specialized courts for violence against women, with his participation in next week’s French Grand Prix at Le Mans strongly in doubt.
