Thiago Jotta da Silva was a 25-year-old Brazilian soccer player who was had spells with Brazilian club Fluminese, European clubs Porto and Dynamo Moscow, and was also a part of the 2008 Beijing Olympics soccer team that lost it’s semifinal match to Argentina. Silva, who was playing for Estacio de Sa Soccer Club, a second-division club in Brazil, had recently run into trouble with his girlfriend, Alyne Padula, whom he was trying to break up with. Unfortunately, she had other plans in how to deal with their separation.
Before he passed away, da Silva was able to tell the police that he had fallen into a trap last Thursday evening, shortly after discussing the end of his relationship with his girlfriend, Alyne Padula.The former Vasco player was overwhelmed by three people (including a member of the military police), all of whom are friends of the girl’s aunt.
He was handcuffed, beaten and tortured. When he tried to flee he was hit by three bullets.
Both the former girlfriend and her aunt, Marcia Padula Viana, were arrested on Sunday as instigators of the crime, and accused of hiring the assassins to kill da Silva.
After two consecutive injury-plagued seasons, Thiago was finally coming back to his norm when he was brutally murdered. And the fact that one of the murderers was a military policemen says to us that Prez Lula should throw the book at this motherfucker. Yeah, we’re angry and disturbed by this.
Brazilian player brutally murdered [SI]


This is way wrong! One Thiago da Silva died, another is alive. The text (and picture) mixes informations about both of them.
The one who plays for Fluminense and Brazil, including in the Olympics, is well alive and going to the national team again!
A little research wouldn’t kill you guys, neither would kill him.

Maybe you ppl get disturbed by this, but violence is a very common thing here, and our government doesn´t give a shit, and don´t even pretend to.

Sorry to tell you folks, but nobody really cares about some looser Southamerican Soccer player… truthfully; the people living in southamerica are just a waste of good air… they should all be eradicated like the cockroaches they are. Then the US can turn southamerica into a vacation paradise (once all the cockroaches that live there are gone)
Thanks for your time!

IM_your_Jesus( FREAK)
It is truly sad that people in this day and age think the way you do. Yes, Brazil is a country with a lot of violence and the government could care less. However, our country is one of the biggest countries in NORTH AMERICA. That being said…as of right now the economy there is booming, while the economy here in the US has simply gone from bad to worse.
You must be one of those freaks that thinks that the US should wipe out human civilization so that you could use the world it as your personal paradise!!! FREAK!!!
Now, before you go mouthing off about something you have obvioustly no knowledge on… think twice. …..Because the world could use one less of YOU!!!
Please spare everyone of your thoughts and comments!!
