Didn't the courts already rule in favor of the wife, give her custody of their 1yr old son (at the time), Arturo Jr., and millions of dollars? I heard she took the money and the kid and ran South.
People that are jumping on the "omg the wife killed him!" bandwagon need to realize that there is a major link between traumatic brain injury and suicide, especially when you add alcoholism into the mix. There are a number of football players (at all levels) who have committed suicide and were confirmed to have brain scans that were identical to those of deceased fighters known to have pugilistica dementia.
WTF - Are you the Brazilian police department or something??? Maybe trying to move in with Amanda Rodrigues to cash in on some of Gatti's cash, and this investigation is f*cking up your plans.
The real battle the wife and Gattti's family for the millions any conclusion between suicide and murder could prolong the fight in court.
Lol at everyone saying Gatti's wife is a goldigging *****. Nobody told Gatti to hook up with her. He's the one who wanted the trophy wife. He's the one who knocked her up. He's the one who beat her up. He's the one who drank too much. There is more to the story than we know, so no one should be passing judgement next. The fact that the press conference is not immediate should raise some eyebrows.
I saw the Real Sports special which talked about the deaths of Gatti, Vernon Forrest, and Arguello. While suspicious, it seemed to be in line that a suicide was most likely event that occurred. At least it didn't seem to contradict or explain an alternative scenario that was more likely. But who knows. I know I have no idea.
This murder took place in Brazil. Brazilian police/politicians covered it up. Current investigators hired by Gatti's manager can present their findings to Brazilian courts and authorities, but the likely scenario is that they wont overrule any results already handed by Brazilian authorities, no matter how badly the case was handled. I pretty much see Brazilian authorities favoring biasly in favor of Gatti's "Brazilian" wife.
Gatti's body was brought and buried in Canada.......remember that his body was buried but was then exhumed to conduct a more proper and thorough autopsy. Arguello died in his native Nicaragua. Unfortunately for Arguello's son who wanted to exhume his Dad's body and conduct a private autopsy. The Nicaraguan govt. did not let Arguello Jr. do that. The Nicaraguan govt. conducted every bit of the investigation and autopsy on Arguello's body, and any wishes on a seperate investigation and autopsy by Arguello Jr. was denied. .....you do the math!
Just re-read some. The wife got him to change the prenup some 13 days before the murder. Didn't wait long! Kinda obvious from the getgo. And he didn't have his guard up for her sadly. Re Arguello, I presume that was political. He was probably trying to do some good and make some changes.
Suicide was RULED OUT by investigators and there will be a press conference on Aug. 30. These inverstigators have been working the case for 2 years and are top notch. No doubt Arturo was murdered despite what the incompetent Brazilian authorities ruled.
I just read the article and here are the facts.... The Chicago based investigator claims that it WAS NOT a suicide and has CONCLUSIVE evidence that will be brought up to prove it....so obviously the case should be re opened and that ***** should burn.
