However, prosecutors could still potentially look into the claims, leaving the possibility of further action open.

The 24-year-old has denied any wrongdoing and remains the subject of a separate investigation by Greater Manchester Police.

The allegations of domestic abuse were made by three women in September last year, but Antony has not been arrested or charged in either Brazil or the UK.

Despite the conclusion of the Brazilian investigation, the matter remains ongoing, with the potential for further developments in the UK.

Antony’s denial of the allegations has been consistent, but the investigations highlight the seriousness with which the claims are being taken.

A statement from the player’s lawyers said:

“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.
