Barbera posted the following statemen🧜t on his Facebook page:
"Given ♏the information that have been published in different press and media, I want to clarify with this communication how the facts occurred in the night of the 9th of May. I obviously do not feel proud at all of what happened, and I want to express my♊ apologies to all people, especially to my family, friends and team members.
"In this procedure, I must assume my duties and responsibilities, but, I feel myself (as al🤡so stated by the Court) as an attacked and 💯affected party.
"After the opportune denouncements, we strictly fo﷽llow the protocol marked by th🅰e law for that kind of facts. Once in the Court, both parties declared and were visited by the medical examiner, who certified the injuries I had. Out of respect I won't provide more details about this. Both parties accepted the Jerez Court decision.
"Me and my previous partner immediately🎉 accepted this Court decision as an attempt to conclude not only this legal procedure butꦯ also the unfair social and media treatment I have suffered undeservedly with opinions and statements which are far away from reality, all based on unverified rumours.
"I am one of ✱three children, two girls and one boyꦆ. We grew up together, learning the values of respect, fairness and love. I would never think of hurting or damaging any person, no matter woman or man. I am firmly against any type of mistreatment or abuse to anyone.
"To me this matter is now definitely closed and I just want to dedicate all my efforts to my sporting career, as I have been doing until now. Refer to my Press anꦉd legal advisors if required."
Barbera, presently second in the privateer CR🎀T MotoGP class, was involved in a drink-drive 'incident' in January 2012.
