The drama surrounding the late Liverpool striker Diogo Jota has deepened with explosive new allegations against his widow, Rute Cardoso.
According to insider leaks, Jota’s grieving parents have accused Rute of deliberately concealing a multi-million euro real estate empire in Spain, allegedly purchased and registered under complex shell companies.
Spanish property records, reportedly tied to luxury apartments and villas along the Costa del Sol, raised suspicions after documents surfaced showing links to names close to Rute but not directly to Jota.
The footballer’s parents, already embroiled in a fierce inheritance dispute, have now formally demanded a police investigation, claiming Rute has “withheld crucial assets” from the family and from the will.
Just hours ago, Portuguese authorities confirmed they were cooperating with Spanish police and made a stunning announcement:
“Preliminary findings suggest the existence of properties valued at over €12 million, none of which were disclosed during the first reading of the will. We are expanding our inquiry.”
The bombshell revelation has fueled rumors of hidden bank accounts and possible involvement of third parties — including one individual shockingly connected to Jota’s former teammates.
Family lawyers have warned that if the allegations are proven true, the scandal could alter the distribution of Jota’s fortune, throwing both the widow and the late player’s legacy into chaos.
