Lawyer confirms: Manuel Marques' ex-wife intends to file a complaint

And now the case against Manuel Marques, initiated by the actor's eldest daughter, 18-year-old Inês, is about to take on new dimensions. As the newspaper Correio da Manhã first reported, the artist's ex-wife, Ana Martins, also intends to file a domestic violence complaint against Manuel .

In exclusive statements to Fama ao Minuto , the lawyer for the actor's daughter, Pedro Nogueira Simões, confirmed that, in fact, Ana Martins "intends" to move forward with the aforementioned criminal complaint.

"In view of the facts presented by the daughter and the content of more information that emerged throughout the process - [domestic violence] being a public crime - the police authorities themselves and, naturally, the Public Prosecutor's Office, had sufficient grounds to place this woman as a possible victim, that is, she has legitimacy to be a complainant " , he explained.

"We made a defense statement asking that, given these facts, the possibility of her also filing a complaint be considered," he added.

"There was a meeting. There is an intention, naturally, to also follow it up with a complaint of criminal proceedings" , he states finally.

It's worth noting that Ana Martins and Manuel Marques tied the knot in 2013 and have two daughters together: Inês and Elisa. They separated in 2021. Months later, the artist announced his relationship with Beatriz Barosa, 28, with whom he remains to this day.

Manuel Marques maintains a normal life during the process

While awaiting the Public Prosecutor's Office's decision, the 50-year-old artist has tried to maintain his usual routine. This month, he traveled with his youngest daughter, nine-year-old Elisa, to Disneyland Paris, sharing the getaway with his Instagram followers.

Embroiled in a huge controversy after being accused of domestic violence by his eldest daughter, Manuel Marques is seeking calm and tranquility. The actor has been traveling with his youngest daughter for the past few hours, celebrating little Elisa's birthday.

Why did Manuel Marques' daughter file a complaint against the actor? The details of the accusation

It all started at the end of May this year, when Inês decided to file a complaint against her father, Manuel Marques, accusing him of domestic violence.

"The accusation stemmed from an incident in which Manuel Marques' daughter accused her father of biting her finger. The alleged victim also claims to have felt psychological pressure from the actor, who viewed all these situations as pure fun," TVI reported in a report on the case that has generated a lot of media attention.

Also speaking to Fama ao Minuto , the lawyer stated that the incidents Inês described to the authorities constitute domestic violence. "Then, the Public Prosecutor's Office, after comparing all the facts, will decide whether or not to charge her with a crime and pursue the case through the courts," added Pedro Nogueira Simões.
