Manchester United's Anthony Maffeos has been involved in a domestic violence scandal, with his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin revealing to the media that she has been repeatedly abused by Anthony and has called the police for help. The 23-year-old Brazilian international, who has been "diving" for a long time, finally released a statement denying all the allegations and said that the Brazilian police will clear his name after investigation.
Anthony Maffeos responded in a 1,000-word message through his social network, "During the period when I was assisting the Brazilian police in their investigation, I kept silent so as not to influence the authorities in their investigation, and now I am finally able to speak out and refute the false allegations. Although I grew up in a favela, I have never encountered this kind of outrageous incident, which has been slandered from the beginning to the end, and unfairly criticized by the public opinion. The police are about to complete their investigation and will soon clear my name. I am grateful to all those who have supported me for the negative impact this incident has had on my family and friends."
