n interview with Brazilian website UOL published on Monday, Cavallin said the footballer threw a glass at her, and in trying to defend herself she cut her finger to the bone. Cavallin filed a police complaint against Antony in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in June 2023. According to the UOL report, she has also filed a complaint against the player to Greater Manchester Police.
In the Interview she said, “I stayed silent until the moment so that nothing could interfere with the investigation process, but during all those days my family and I suffered in silence. Despite being born and raised in a very needy community, I had 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 be proven. [I am] certain that justice will prevail and the damage initially caused to my image will be in the past. Thank you to the countless messages of support at this very difficult time.” Manchester United Decides to Part Ways With Mason Greenwood, England Footballer to Leave Old Trafford Following Investigation Report.
Antony released a statement in late June denying the accusations made against him. "After submitting my statement at the police station where investigation involving my name is being conducted, I wanted to speak for the first time since I was falsely accused of assault," he wrote on Instagram. Currently Antony is being investigated by the Sao Paulo court for domestic violence against his ex-wife and definitely the recently revealed photoes and videos are going to play a big part in it.
