In a stunning twist in the ongoing investigation into the death of Liverpool star Diogo Jota, police have just confirmed the discovery of a second mobile phone beneath the driver’s seat of his crashed Lamborghini — a phone his wife insists did not belong to him.
The phone, reportedly a basic black model with no biometric lock, was recovered during a second forensic sweep of the wreckage late Tuesday night. Officers say the device was not registered under Jota’s name and contained minimal contact information — raising serious questions about who owned it and why it was in the vehicle.
“This Wasn’t His. He Never Used This Phone.” — Wife Speaks Out
Speaking through a family representative this morning, Jota’s widow made a chilling statement:
“I saw the phone. It wasn’t his. He never carried a second phone. I would’ve known. But the message on it… I can’t unsee it.”
She reportedly burst into tears after reading the last message sent to the device — a message investigators have since confirmed was received approximately 21 minutes before the crash.
THE MESSAGE: Only 7 Words
According to police sources, the final message read:
“You said you'd never let this surface.”
The sender remains unknown. The number is currently being traced through international records, with police suspecting the use of encrypted apps or temporary SIM cards.
Investigators: “This Changes Everything”
Chief Inspector Daniel Reeve issued a brief but urgent update:
“This discovery opens a new line of inquiry. We are now actively investigating the phone’s origin, usage patterns, and possible connection to Mr. Jota’s personal or professional life.”
Sources close to the investigation also revealed that the phone contained no photos, only three saved contacts, and had recently deleted its WhatsApp application just hours before the crash.
Public Speculation Explodes
The mysterious message and presence of the second phone have sparked a firestorm online. Was Jota being blackmailed? Was someone watching him? Was this device linked to the earlier revelations about a secret apartment, unknown contracts, or the tense WhatsApp call uncovered on his primary laptop?
Fans and journalists alike are drawing connections — some suggesting this may point to a deliberate cover-up, others even questioning whether the crash itself was entirely accidental.
What Comes Next?
Authorities are now examining CCTV footage near Jota’s home, looking for any unknown visitors in the hours before he left. Digital forensics teams are also attempting to recover deleted messages from the mysterious device.
Meanwhile, Jota’s wife has asked for privacy, but released one final comment:
“He didn’t deserve this. He was trying to protect us — even if we didn’t know what from.”
This case is far from over.
