Abortion is still against the law in Brazil, and none of the three candidates for October's presidential elections plan on changing that law should they win. She went to the police about this.' Baroni adds: 'In my opinion, something has happened to her, I wish it wasn't so.'Įven if she hadn't been against abortion, a legal termination was not an option for Eliza Samudio. She says Eliza told her that Bruno 'kidnapped her and tried to force her to abort. She was against abortion,' Baroni tells The Daily Beast. 'He wanted her to get rid of the baby, abort it. This version of events is corroborated by Eliza's friend Milena Baroni, a 25-year-old law student from Rio. The police officer who registered the complaint requested that Bruno be legally prohibited from coming near Eliza. She claims Bruno then persuaded her to meet him the next day at an abortion clinic. 'If I kill you and throw you somewhere, you're not going to be found,' she says Bruno told her. In a video interview Eliza gave to Rio tabloid Extra in October 2009 while four months pregnant, she claimed that she was coaxed into Bruno's car where he and three of his friends forced her to take the illicit abortion drug Cycotec. In a collective interview, his soccer club's president Patrícia Amorim said: 'Flamengo understands that it doesn't have the competence to judge any situation, and until there is a judgment by the judiciary, Flamengo will take the measures.' She added that Bruno would continue training separately from the team.Īs for a motive, it seems Bruno was not happy when his lover got pregnant last year. Nor did he explain how the baby Bruninho came to be in his possession at his ranch, hundreds of miles from the mother's home. Per his lawyer's advice, he declined to say much more. I saw her father's interview, I'm hoping she appears.' 'I am hoping that she will appear, that this situation will soon end, because it is annoying. 'I leave it in the hands of God,' he said serenely. And in a television interview this week, Bruno seemed remarkably relaxed for a man supposedly trying to cover up the murder of his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child. Since the allegations surfaced, he has been separated from the soccer team and trains alone. There is no body, no proof, just circumstantial evidence. Bruno has not been arrested nor questioned.

As police searched a well on Bruno's property on Monday, June 28, a swarm of TV news helicopters filmed from overhead. Police have made their suspicions public, and a horde of Brazilian media outlet have followed every step of the investigation, detailing the finds: the diapers and plane tickets-in Eliza's name-that were supposedly found at Bruno's ranch the witnesses who claim to have seen her there, and the cell-phone call made on June 9 that supposedly confirms those witnesses' accounts the traces of what might be blood found in one of Bruno's cars. 'According to denunciations,' officer Alessandra Wilke from the Homicide Division conducting the investigation told reporters, 'he and two friends attacked Eliza, who probably came to die, and hid the body.' So do investigators in Belo Horizonte, a big city in the state of Minas Gerais, where Bruno grew up. But the problem is that no body has been found.'Įliza's father believes his daughter is dead. As one tabloid reporter working the case put it: 'It's a soap opera. Yet Bruno, who was not on the Brazilian World Cup squad, is married to Dayane Souza, with whom he has two children. In 2009, he had an affair with Eliza Samudio, a student from São Paulo, who got pregnant and, before her disappearance, was fighting to prove Bruno's paternity of her baby son, who she called Bruninho (Little Bruno). 'If I kill you and throw you somewhere, you're not going to be found,' she says Bruno told her.īruno Fernandes das Dores de Souza, also 25, is the captain and goal-keeper of the Rio de Janeiro team Flamengo-with 40 million fans, the country's most popular soccer club and the current national champions. It's a suspect that has the makings of a Brazilian OJ Simpson. Police investigating the disappearance and suspected murder of 25-year-old student Eliza Samudio, missing for almost a month, believe that one of the country's biggest soccer stars, her ex-boyfriend and the father of her baby son, is involved. But as the country's campaign came to a shuddering halt with defeat at the hands of Holland on Friday, a darker soccer drama was already unfolding. For the past month, soccer-obsessed Brazil has been entirely fixated on the World Cup.
