Former Twente Defender Douglas Held on Suspicion of Domestic Violence
Former FC Twente defender Douglas Franco Teixeira remains in pre-trial detention on suspicion of domestic violence after a judge extended his custody by fourteen days. The 37-year-old, who played for the club between 2007 and 2013 and became a Dutch citizen in 2010, was arrested following an investigation at his apartment complex in Enschede. While the specific details of the allegations have not been disclosed, the extension indicates continued judicial review of the case. Teixeira, a former member of the Netherlands national team squad in 2012, has recently played amateur football in Overijssel. The Public Prosecution Service must seek further court approval if it wishes to keep him detained beyond the current period.
