After the Death of Diogo Jota .. The Charity Foundation Disappears and Liverpool Denies Any Connection

In a shocking development, the website of what is known as "Diogo Jota Foundation" has disappeared after raising over £47,000 in donations, despite Liverpool FC and the family of the late star Diogo Jota confirming they were unaware of any activities by the foundation.

The mysterious foundation appeared online just three days after Jota's death last July, claiming it aimed to "empower youth, uplift communities, and spread the joy of football among everyone".

However, it suddenly vanished, and with a simple investigation, it was revealed that the website displaying the logos of Liverpool FC, UNICEF, and the Portuguese Development Platform was not affiliated with any of these entities.

The three organizations confirmed to the British Telegraph that they had no connection to the foundation.

The UK Charity Commission also revealed that this entity had not submitted any official registration application, which is mandatory for any foundation that exceeds £5,000 in donations annually within England or Wales.

According to what was stated on the website before its closure, the foundation claimed that it :

• Distributed 25,000 meals.

• Sponsored 300 students.

• Established 50 local partnerships.

• Organized free football camps and training programs for underprivileged communities.

• Provided scholarships, academic support, and life skills training for youth.

• Collaborated with local entities to promote health and community inclusion.

However, the striking figures and "impressive" activities did not convince any official entity, especially since the foundation was only accepting donations in cryptocurrency, a move that heightened the suspicions of donors and observers.

While Liverpool's management denied any complete connection to this entity, they also confirmed that they were working on launching a grassroots football program named after Jota, as part of the club's official activities.

It is worth noting that this incident comes just weeks after Jota's death, which heightened the sensitivity of the situation and the public's anger, amid widespread questions :

Who is behind this foundation? And where did the donations go?
