The English club is cautious about the future of the Brazilian striker, who is being investigated for domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend
OR Manchester United We will wait for the next updates on the accusation of domestic violence against the aggressor Anthony is aimed at making a decision on the Brazilian’s future at the club. The behavior, specified in a note on Wednesday, is a little more cautious than that adopted in the case of Mason Greenwood, the young promise of the English team who was out for a year and a half after being accused of assault and sexual assault, before being loaned to Getafe last month.
“Manchester United are aware of the allegations made against Antony and note that the police are conducting investigations,” the statement read. “Pending further information, the club will have no further comment. As a club, we are taking this matter seriously, taking into account the impact these allegations and subsequent allegations will have on victims of abuse.”
Unlike Antony, Greenwood was arrested for a few days between January and October 2022. The English forward was accused of harassment, rape and coercive behavior by a woman who shared photos and videos in which she appears with bruises. In February of this year, the British Crown Prosecutor dropped the charges of attempted rape and molestation to which Greenwood was responding. Previously, the agency had already dropped other charges, those related to allegations of controlling and coercive behavior.
Although Justice has taken the case off their agenda, United have kept the player away and conducted an internal investigation to reach a decision. The conclusion was that “the material posted online did not give the full picture and that Mason did not commit the crimes he was originally accused of.” The club also says it has carried out the investigation respecting “the rights and perspectives of the alleged victim”.
It was therefore decided that there would be no climate for the player to remain in the squad, also because there was strong pressure from the fans, especially women, against remaining. The situation culminated with the loan to Getafe. During the investigation period, he lost sponsorship deals, such as the one he had with Nike, and was removed from the FIFA 2022 game.
Antonio case
Antony is being investigated by the São Paulo Civil Police for domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend, DJ and digital influencer Gabriela Cavallin, who reported him in June. In a report published on Monday by the UOL website, the former partner revealed physical assaults and threats by the 23-year-old player. Following the repercussions of the complaint, the striker was pulled from the Brazilian national team by manager Fernando Diniz and ended up being replaced by Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus.
Cavallin said she was abused while pregnant with Antony and said she lost the baby weeks later. “He was already saying things like: ‘either I stayed with him or everyone died’. Me, him and our son. And I said to him: ‘you know I’m pregnant, right? You’re scaring me'”. ‘. She one hour she cried, another time she hit me. Definitely one of the worst days of my life.”
After filing a police complaint against Antony in June this year at the 5th Women’s Defense Police Station, in Tatuapé, São Paulo, the DJ filed a new complaint in Manchester, England. The investigation collects images of a wound on Cavallin’s right hand, with the bones of the fingers exposed. Printouts of conversations between her and the player have also surfaced. In a statement, Antonio declared “that the accusations are false, and that the evidence already produced and the others that will be produced demonstrate that I am innocent of the charges brought”.
