Brazilian media reported on Monday that Man United winger Antony is being investigated by the São Paulo court for domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.
Antony replies with formal statement
“Out of respect for my fans, friends and family I feel obligated to speak publicly about the false accusations I have been a victim of.
From the beginning I have handled this issue seriously and with respect, providing the due clarifications to the police authority. The police inquest is under cover of justice, and therefore I cannot make its content public.
However, I can say with confidence that the accusations are false and that the evidence already produced and more to be produced show that I am innocent of the accusations made.
My relationship with Ms. Gabriela was tumultuous, with verbal offenses from both sides, but I never practiced any physical aggression.
Every time, whether in testimony or in interview, she presents a different version of the accusations.
Thus, I come to deny the accusations made and inform that I remain at the full disposal of the Brazilian authorities to clarify what is needed.
I trust the ongoing police investigations will reveal the truth about my innocence”.
