Diogo Jota was driving above the speed limit when he crashed, Spanish police believe
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spanish police believe Liverpool player Diogo Jota was driving over the speed limit when he and his brother died in a car crash last week. Spain's Civil Guard said on Tuesday that while their investigation into the cause of the crash last Thursday continues, they believe Jota was driving too fast when the Lamborghini veered off course after a tire burst. Previously, the police had not said if Jota or his brother André Silva were driving. On Tuesday they said that it appeared Jota was. The siblings died in the car when it burst into flames on an isolated section of highway early in the morning. Portuguese media reported Jota was heading to the northern Spanish city of Santander to take a ferry to England where he would rejoin Liverpool after being advised not to fly following a recent lung procedure. Their funeral was held in Portugal on Saturday.

Create Account Cops say that the unnamed woman allegedly paid three people to murder her ex-beau in Switzerland in 2018. When that backfired, she went on the run. Now, investigators say the woman — police did not release her name or hometown — was arrested at Frankfurt Airport in Germany on an international arrest warrant. Swiss police say the 49-year-old suspect was wanted for attempted murder. Cops say the suspect allegedly gave three people money to take her former lover off the board. He survived the machete attack but was seriously injured. The German Federal Police stated that the woman was arrested on Friday as she disembarked from a flight originating in Toronto. She is now in custody and awaiting extradition to Switzerland. If convicted, she faces a life sentence. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Meanwhile, a Canadian man who oversaw a widespread grandparent scam in several U.S. states has been arrested in Charletown, Indiana. Jia Hua Liu is accused of running a grandparent scam. Photo by Jefferson County Jail Cops say the scheme targeted elderly people and resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses. One Indiana resident was allegedly scammed out of $27,000 after he withdrew the cash from his retirement fund. He handed the money over to a man who visited his home. The scammer then fled. According to cops, Quebec resident Jia Hua Liu, 36, entered the U.S. in April. Investigators linked Liu to fraud cases in Indiana, Ohio, New Mexico and Tennessee. Police believe Liu's take was more than $400,000. Detectives also identified three more incidents in Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan. In those cases, concerned family members intervened and prevented an additional $70,000 in potential losses. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Clark County Prosecutor's Office has filed multiple felony charges against Liu, including theft, fraud, conspiracy and money laundering and an arrest warrant was issued. Liu was located at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on July 2, preparing to board a departing flight, but was arrested without incident. Cops are still trying to identify more victims. 'This arrest is the result of tireless work by our detectives and strong cooperation between agencies,' said CPD Chief Eric Kruse. 'We're committed to protecting our elderly community members and bringing those who prey on them to justice.' bhunter@ @HunterTOSun Canada Sunshine Girls Toronto Blue Jays Canada Sunshine Girls
