Former Flamengo player David Luiz is facing a delicate situation in court. This is because the current Pafos (CYP) defender has been accused of death threats and psychological violence by Francisca Karollainy Barbosa Cavalcante, who claims to have had an extramarital relationship with the athlete.
The Ceará court has even granted Karol a restraining order. Thus, the defender must keep a minimum distance of 100 meters from Francisca, and is also prohibited from making contact, whether by calls, messages, or social media. According to the complaint, the young woman reports having been threatened by David Luiz through Instagram. The information comes from ‘Uol’.
After the relationship ended, he started to threaten me constantly. I received, via Instagram, a message sent by David Luiz himself containing the following words: ‘You know I have money and power, so don’t try to be clever. It would be sad if your son had to pay the consequences of your actions. I can simply make you disappear’ - she said in the police report.
David Luiz’s press office commented just a few hours after the first accusations became public. In a statement, ALOB Sports contested Karol’s version, stating that the defender “only replied to messages received” from the young woman and that there was never any in-person meeting between them. Finally, the press office emphasized that the player remains committed to the truth.
David Luiz joined Flamengo at the end of the 2021 season. In that period, the defender played in 132 matches. With the athlete on the field, the Rubro-Negro achieved 75 wins, 28 draws, and 29 losses. In the end, the defender scored four goals and provided two assists. Additionally, he won a Libertadores, two Copa do Brasil titles, and one Carioca.
Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the next fixture of the season. This Sunday (31), Flamengo faces Grêmio, at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media.
