Following accusations of domestic violence against him, Brazilian international striker Antony reacted on the web.
Antony will not take part in the next meetings in Brazil. This because of the accusations of domestic violence professed against him by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin. The Brazilian Confederation (CBF) has therefore taken the decision to exclude the right winger of Manchester United from the list of players selected by the coach of the Seleção, Fernando Diniz, to play in the qualifying matches of the next World Cup against the Bolivia and Peru. Following this verdict, the man–spinning top also spoke, denouncing false accusations from the Brazilian DJ and influencer.
“Out of respect for my fans, friends and family, I feel compelled to speak publicly about the false accusations against me. From the beginning, I treated this matter with seriousness and respect, providing the necessary clarifications to the competent authorities. The police investigation is subject to judicial secrecy and therefore I cannot make its content public.explained Antony on social networks.
“However, I can calmly say that the charges are false and that the evidence provided shows that I am innocent. My relationship with Gabriela was tumultuous, with verbal insults from both sides, but I never committed physical aggression. At every moment, whether in testimony or in an interview, she presents a different version of the accusations. This is why I come to vehemently deny the accusations made and inform you that I remain at the entire disposal of the Brazilian authorities to clarify anything that may be necessary. I hope that the ongoing police investigations will demonstrate the truth about my innocence”he added.
Note that in the absence of the native of Osasco, it was Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus who was called to replace him.
