In the last 24 hours, reports say Aris is close to signing Gustavo Pazé. But lately, this footballer has been in the news for reasons other than his game. He faces accusations of assaulting a woman at a bar in Rio de Janeiro.
According to portalesfera.com.br, there’s a police complaint against the Vila Nova forward. Karina Almeida Sales claims he verbally and physically assaulted her.
The 30-year-old says that while leaving a bar with her husband and friends on December 21st, a group accidentally pushed her. When she asked them to be more careful, she alleges the player responded with insults.
Then, according to the police report, things got worse outside the bar. The player allegedly punched her in the jaw, making her fall, and then kicked her in the ribs. Her husband was also reportedly attacked.
After the incident, Karina needed medical help at a hospital. She shared on social media that she is heartbroken and wants justice for what happened.
The player denies knowing her and claims he wasn’t involved in the assault.
The bar where this happened said it does not accept violent or inappropriate behavior. Authorities have access to video footage from the bar to help with the investigation. Meanwhile, Pazé’s team announced they will look into the incident and take action as needed.
