Helton reportedly arrested for illegal gun possession | OneFootball

Helton, former Brazilian international who played as a goalkeeper for União de Leiria and FC Porto in Portugal, was reportedly detained for illegal possession of a firearm following a police operation at his residence in Vila Nova de Gaia.

According to the newspaper Público, in addition to the firearm, Helton also had several rounds of ammunition.

The search took place following a domestic violence complaint filed against the former footballer by a woman with whom the ex-goalkeeper allegedly maintained an extramarital relationship for several years.

The investigation report indicates that the weapon was registered in someone else’s name and had been stolen in Gafanha da Nazaré. Helton was detained and later released on the condition of identity and residence. The case is awaiting the scheduling of the trial.
