A Brazilian police investigation into allegations of domestic abuse by Man Utd winger Antony has concluded without any charges being brought.
The 24-year-old winger, who has denied wrongdoing, remains the subject of a Greater Manchester Police investigation.
A statement from the player’s lawyers read: “The defence of player Antony Matheus dos Santos, in light of the news published by the press this Tuesday (20 August 2024), hereby confirms that the police investigation opened at the fifth Women’s Defense Precinct of Sao Paulo, of the Civil Police, was closed without any police indictment.
“The defence has always believed that the investigations, that run under confidentiality, would prove Antony’s innocence.”
Officials have told BBC News Brasil that although the police investigation has concluded without an indictment, the case has not been dropped because the prosecutor’s office is still reviewing it and can decide to make another independent investigation.
