According to reports, the Manchester United player Antony has been accused of domestic abuse against his ex-wife in England.
Legal counsel for Gabriela Cavallin, who has since split up with the footballer, is ready to file a police report against him in London, where he currently resides as reported by the Brazilian daily UOL.
It is claimed that Cavallin experienced hostility and threats while residing in Manchester. Cavallin reported on comparable charges made against Antony back in Brazil in June.
According to UOL, they have received a 70-page document from Cavallin's attorneys that contains proof of claimed abuse and aggression committed by Antony towards the DJ.
Antony's ex-wife has decided that she will take up the matter to the police and file a domestic violence report.
Cavallin's lawyer set to file a domestic violent report in England
According to Cavallin's attorney, Vanessa Souza, quoted by UOL, the Manchester United player might be charged with up to three distinct felonies in England.
In an interview with UOL, as reported by Daily Mail, Souza said, "The sending of threatening messages, the fact that he locked her in the house and domestic violence - with the displacement of the breast prosthesis and the injury to the fingers - are actions classified as three different crimes in England.
"I was contacted through Gabriela's lawyers in Brazil to represent her interests with the Crown Prosecutor Service (England prosecutors) and the Manchester Police.
"I initiated contact with the legal sector of Antony's team and they were surprised. They are very respectful of these British bodies and treat it very seriously."
Cavallin claims that as a result of the alleged behaviour of the footballer, she is still having problems falling asleep.
Antony under investigation in Brazil
Antony was the subject of Cavallin's initial police report in Brazil, where he was charged with "domestic violence, threat, and physical injury."
In a televised appearance with Record TV, she made accusations, claiming that she had trouble breathing when she was gripped with both arms, flung to the bed and collapsed on her.
Following the event, Cavallin said she required sutures in the interior of her breast. Also, Cavallin said Antony prevented her from leaving their house.
Afterwards, Antony responded with a message on his Instagram page, claiming that he had been "falsely accused" and that he had been "suffering in silence" while the inquiry was ongoing.
He wrote as reported by Daily Mail, "For you, after submitting my statement at the police station where the investigation involving my name is being conducted, I wanted to speak publicly for the first time since I was falsely accused of assault.
"I stayed silent until this moment so that nothing could interfere with the investigation process, but during all these days my family and I suffered in silence.
"Despite being born and raised in a very needy community, I have never been through a situation similar to this, in which a false assault charge resulted in a preliminary and unfair public judgement on the part of some.
"After the closure of the investigation, my innocence will certainly be proven and justice will prevail. The damage initially caused to my image will be in the past.
"Thank you for the countless messages of support received at this very difficult time."
