David Luiz responds to death threat accusation against woman | OneFootball

David Luiz is currently in Pafos, Cyprus

The atmosphere behind the scenes continues to be tense in the world of football, and the defender David Luiz, former Flamengo player, is one of the most talked-about names in recent days. After being accused of a possible death threat by the alleged ex-lover, the defender, who currently plays for Pafos (CHP), broke the silence and commented on the matter. The experienced athlete stressed that he never committed the crimes mentioned by Francisca Karollainy Barbosa Cavalcante and that legal measures are being taken.

WHAT DID DAVID LUIZ SAY?

"Hello, everyone. I think everyone has seen the news that came out about my life, and I came here now to talk to you. I didn't make this video before because of commitments with my new club, with my debut and with the collective goal, before individual problems. But now the time has come to speak.

I never threatened anyone, I never threatened this person, I was never with her in person, I was never at the hotel where she says I was. In fact, last week, the original hotel email was made available to the press confirming that I was never there.

Unfortunately, things have gotten out of control. It has been a very bad and very annoying moment, but I am here with an open heart. I made a mistake in exchanging messages with this person, but I never - never - threatened her or any other person in my life. I was never personally with this person. Legal measures are already being taken, and I hope that justice is done as soon as possible, so that everyone knows the real truth.

From now on, I thank everyone for their support, the messages I have received and may God bless each one of you. Thank you."

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE ACCUSATION?

Last week, Francisca Karollainy Barbosa Cavalcante, alleged ex-lover of David Luiz, claimed to have had an extramarital relationship with the former Flamengo athlete. The woman denounced the defender for an alleged death threat and psychological violence.

Therefore, the Justice of Ceará, where David Luiz was defending the colors of Fortaleza, granted protective measures to Francisca Karollainy Barbosa Cavalcante. The defender must maintain a minimum distance of 100 meters from the victim, in addition to being prohibited from contacting her, whether by calls, messages or social networks. According to the complaint, the young woman reports having been threatened by the athlete through Instagram.

"After the relationship ended, he started to threaten me constantly. I received, through Instagram, a message sent by David Luiz himself containing the following words: 'You know I have money and power, so don't play smart. It would be sad for your son to have to pay the consequences of your actions. I can simply make you disappear'" - said Francisca Karollainy Barbosa Cavalcante, in the police report.

WHAT IS DAVID LUIZ'S SITUATION AT THIS MOMENT?
