Former Chelsea footballer David Luiz is facing allegations that he locked his girlfriend, who is said to be in a polyamorous relationship with him, in a hotel room and that his bodyguard threatened to kill her.

Brazilian social worker Francisca Karollainy Barbosa Cavalcante claimed on July 20 that Luiz assigned one of his bodyguards to keep her in the room, during which he threatened to kill both her and her loved ones while showing family photos.

Cavalcante's lawyer revealed the details of the allegations on Wednesday, September 17. The allegations had been officially recorded by the police a day earlier.

Born in Fortaleza, Cavalcante claims that the bodyguard threatened her by showing photos of her son, father, mother, brother, and nephews.

David Luiz's press office denied the allegations:

"Neither today nor in the past has he used a personal security team in Fortaleza or with teams in England, France, and Rio de Janeiro."

These allegations form the latest link in the increasingly heated legal battle between the two.

Last August, Cavalcante filed a complaint claiming that Luiz threatened her. The fight reportedly began when Cavalcante refused to participate in the polyamorous relationship.

David Luiz, on the other hand, is with his long-time fiancée Bruna Loureiro and firmly denies both the relationship and the threats. He even filed a defamation and slander lawsuit against her.

Brazilian police seized Cavalcante's phone as part of the investigation. It was alleged that in messages purportedly sent by Luiz, one threatened her with his "money and power," another stated that her son could "pay the consequences," and a third message included the phrase "I can simply make you disappear."

Cavalcante also claimed that the former Premier League star offered her £14,000 to keep her quiet.
