Argentina Investigation underway

Police have confirmed that an investigation is underway following an accusation from ex-Porto and Marseille midfielder Lucho Gonzalez's wife that he attempted to murder her.

The incident occurred on December 8 with Gonzalez handed a 500-metre restraining order against his wife with a further 90-day suspension from seeing his children while the matter is dealt with.

"My husband, Lucho González, tried to kill me," Andreia da Silva Marques Gonzalez told Globoesporte.

"We argued and he tried to kill me. Then he emptied the house, took away all my jewelry, took all the money from our accounts, blocked all my cards, and stole my money.

"He tried to suffocate me and cut my wrists, he hung me off a stick and called my children to see me fall from the balcony.

"Our employees called the police and he threw me off the balcony, because underneath I had the patio where my children were playing with the dogs and he started shouting: 'I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you'."
