Uruguayan soccer star, Luis Suarez, faces allegations of domestic abuse.
Luis Suárez Faces Domestic Violence Allegations Amidst Sporting Transfer
Football star Luis Suárez, who recently joined Portuguese club Sporting, is currently under investigation for domestic violence charges. The incidents, which allegedly took place in Granada, Spain and Marseille, France between 2020 and 2023, were reported to the Guardia Civil in Almería by Suárez's ex-wife.
The arrest of Suárez occurred on December 11, 2024, in Spain. As of early August 2025, the investigation is still ongoing, and no verdicts or case resolutions have been made public.
Despite the ongoing investigation, Suárez completed his move to Sporting in the summer of 2025, replacing Viktor Gyokeres in the attack. The transfer fee for the Uruguayan striker was 22.157 million euros, making him Sporting's most expensive signing in their history. An additional 5.2 million euros could be added to the transfer fee if Suárez achieves certain performance-related objectives.
Suárez's contract with Sporting is valid until June 2030, and he made his official debut for the club in the Supertaça, coming on as a substitute in the defeat against Benfica.
It's important to note that no further information about the trial outcome or the alleged incidents of violence against Suárez's ex-wife has been provided. The judge in charge of the case in Almería considered Suárez criminally responsible for the crime of domestic violence, and the case is currently in the process of being resolved with an agreement between the parties.
Suárez was released but ordered to remain under judicial supervision. As more information becomes available regarding the legal status or final determination concerning these accusations, it will be reported accordingly.
