LIVERPOOL — July 29, 2025
In an unbelievable turn of events, investigators examining personal items recovered from the crash site involving Diogo Jota have uncovered a hidden camera embedded in the footballer's luxury wristwatch — and what it recorded in the final hours of his life is sending shockwaves across the UK.
The Watch Was Recording — And It Didn't Stop
The Rolex-style timepiece, initially thought to be a sentimental gift from his wife, contained a micro lens embedded beneath the dial, which continuously recorded short encrypted clips.
Police forensic analysts decrypted the latest footage — a 57-second recording believed to be part of a longer file — which captured a quiet, candle-lit setting in what appears to be a private villa.
But it’s who he was with that has shocked both the family and the Liverpool community.
“It’s clearly not his wife,” said a senior official who viewed the footage. “But what’s even more surprising is how familiar and affectionate they are. He kisses her forehead and says, ‘I didn’t think I’d ever feel like this again.’”
Not a Stranger to the Club
Sources close to the investigation have confirmed the woman in the footage has ties to the Liverpool organization — though her identity is being withheld for now. What’s confirmed is that the footage was taken less than 8 hours before the crash.
“They were alone. No staff, no team, no kids,” a source close to the family said. “She handed him something in an envelope — and he looked… shaken.”
A Second Video May Exist
The footage is believed to be part of a larger archive of short recordings stored on the watch, synced to Jota’s now-confiscated iCloud account. Investigators are still piecing together whether the rest of the evening was also captured and whether the woman handed him a letter, document… or ultimatum.
Family members have reportedly not yet been shown the clip, though a legal representative for the Jota estate said they were “prepared for the worst.”
Liverpool FC Responds
Liverpool FC has declined to comment on the identity of the woman or whether she was connected to the club in any official capacity, but internal staff have been questioned since the watch’s discovery.
Meanwhile, Jota’s wife has not spoken publicly, but was reportedly seen leaving the family’s home late last night with her children and a suitcase.
DEVELOPING STORY…
Police say more footage may surface in the coming days. One high-ranking source hinted:
“This was no ordinary evening — and no ordinary companion. Whatever happened that night, it changed everything.”
