Junior Joao Maleck Robles (born 13 March 1999) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a forward.[1]

On the morning of 23 June 2019, Maleck was involved in a fatal car crash in his hometown, Guadalajara, that resulted in the death of a newlywed couple. Maleck was driving over the speed limit and was under the influence of alcohol when his vehicle hit the car of the victims.[2] On 23 October 2020, Maleck was found guilty of two counts of aggravated homicide.[3] On 30 October, Maleck was sentenced to three years, eight months and 15 days in prison and ordered to pay a fine of 3 million pesos (US$141,600).[4] Despite the sentence, the law states that Maleck could be released from prison in just 15 days provided he pays the fines.[5] On 15 December, Maleck was released on parole after spending 18 months in prison. He was released after serving less than half of his sentence and posting a $151,121 bond.[6]

At the time of the accident, Maleck was on loan at Sevilla Atlético of the second division B of Spanish football; the club announced it would terminate its working relationship with the player on 30 June.[7] While in prison, Maleck signed a contract extension with Santos Laguna and was later registered with the U-20 team.[8][9]
