WHAT WERE THE POLICE CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE ‘DAVID LUIZ CASE’?

The lead investigator, Rachel de Queiroz Moreira, recommended that the inquiry be closed. According to ‘O Globo’, there is not enough evidence to support the accusation made against David Luiz.

During the investigation, forensic experts analyzed Karollainy's cellphone. In summary, the analysis did not identify any messages or threatening behavior attributed to the player.

“According to the facts detailed above, based on the technical evidence and testimonies attached to the case files, the information gathered so far has been insufficient for this Police Authority to justify indicting the suspect, considering the lack of minimal evidence of the alleged crimes. Therefore, I will not proceed with any criminal indictment, suggesting the case be closed, unless further evidence arises,” the document states.

WERE THERE CONTRADICTIONS IN THE ACCUSER’S ACCOUNT?

Conversations extracted from the cellphone revealed that the woman discussed with a friend the possibility of coordinating a version of events to incriminate David Luiz. This content raised significant doubts about the truthfulness of the accusation against the defender.

Meanwhile, the police interviewed employees of the hotel mentioned in the testimony. All denied the presence of David Luiz at the establishment on the date mentioned by the complainant.
