David Luiz, the former star defender of Paris Saint-Germain, now plays for Pafos in Cyprus but has found himself embroiled in a troubling legal case in Brazil. At 38 years old, Luiz is facing allegations of making threats against a 26-year-old social worker, Francisca Karollainy Barbosa Cavalcante, after she reportedly declined his invitation for a three-way encounter.
According to reports from Marca, the accusations are serious. The plaintiff claims to possess compromising screenshots: messages from the ex-Brazilian international on Instagram that include intimidating phrases like “I can just make you disappear” and “you will pay the consequences.” These messages have left her fearing for both her safety and that of her son.
Legal Troubles for a Football Icon
While engaged to Bruna Loureiro, Luiz denies knowing Francisca but admits to sending her private messages. In light of the harassment and intimidation claims, Brazilian courts have issued a restraining order against the player, marking a significant turn in his career.
This case has sparked intense controversy in Brazil, tarnishing the previously polished image of a defender who made his mark in European football with teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, and PSG. As the legal battle unfolds, many are left questioning the future of Luiz’s reputation and career.
