Arboleda has urgently left Brazil.
Details: According to Topskills Sports UK, 34-year-old Ecuadorian centre-back for Sao Paulo Robert Arboleda fled Brazil after being informed that one of the country's most powerful criminal syndicates had sentenced him to death over his debts.

Reports state that Arboleda owes a total of more than 15 million reais to various entities, including criminal organizations, and also has a 4 million real debt for drugs he purchased without having the funds.
Although Arboleda had been gradually paying off his debts, he recently ran into difficulties and missed a payment, which led to the criminal syndicates openly declaring a death sentence against the Ecuadorian.
Given these circumstances, Arboleda has left Sao Paulo and Brazil and has no plans to return.
Recently, a Brazilian court also seized all of Arboleda's assets due to a debt of 10 million reais owed to influencer “Tcar”, from whom he bought luxury cars on credit.
Sao Paulo is well aware of his troubles and even helped him pay off part of his debt, covering 5 million reais, but that wasn't enough.
At the moment, Arboleda's future remains uncertain.
