BRAZILIAN police said they are investigating the possible kidnapping of the younger sister of Brazil striker Hulk.
Authorities said 22-year-old Angelica Aparecida Vieira de Sousa has been missing since Monday afternoon after being left in front of a restaurant in the northeastern city of Campina Grande. A person who was with her at the time told police that he thinks she was kidnapped.
Campina Grande police officer Kalina Suerde said that it was too early to say whether Sousa was kidnapped despite widespread reports in Brazilian media.
Suerde said an initial call to Sousa's cell phone was answered by a man impersonating her husband "She is missing, nobody saw anybody taking her, but we are checking the reports that she may have been kidnapped," she said.
The 26-year-old Hulk moved from Portugal's FC Porto to Russia's Zenit St. Petersburg in September in a deal worth 55 million euros, becoming one of the highest ever transfers for a Brazilian player. Police said Hulk was aware that his sister was missing.
Hulk has six other sisters. The striker was one of the three overage Brazilian players that won the silver medal at the London Olympics.
