En 2021, fue detenido en N\u00e1poles, Italia, acusado de tr\u00e1fico y producci\u00f3n de drogas. Desde entonces, el exfutbolista colombiano ha mantenido su inocencia, argumentando que su viaje a Italia era con fines tur\u00edsticos.<\/p>\n<p>Fabrizio de Maio, abogado del jugador, confirm\u00f3 que la condena asciende a 12 a\u00f1os, reflejando la severidad de las leyes italianas ante este tipo de delitos. \u2018El Pitufo\u2019 de \u00c1vila lleva recluido cerca de cuatro a\u00f1os. En 2022, su esposa, Lyda Valenzuela, revel\u00f3 la dif\u00edcil situaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica, indicando que tuvieron que vender propiedades para cubrir los costos de la defensa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNos toc\u00f3 reunirnos con la familia en Santa Marta y hemos tenido que vender propiedades para reunir parte de lo que cobra la defensa de Anthony. A\u00fan falta, pero no tenemos de d\u00f3nde sacar m\u00e1s\u201d, declar\u00f3 Valenzuela a El Pa\u00eds de Cali, evidenciando la complejidad del caso y el apoyo menguante de algunos allegados.<\/p>\n<h3>Goleador hist\u00f3rico del Cl\u00e1sico Vallecaucano y del Am\u00e9rica de Cali<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018El Pitufo\u2019 de \u00c1vila es una figura legendaria en la historia del <strong>Am\u00e9rica de Cali<\/strong>. En su \u00faltima etapa, a los 45 a\u00f1os, demostr\u00f3 su vigencia anotando dos goles. Acumul\u00f3 un total de 208 goles, consolid\u00e1ndose como uno de los m\u00e1ximos artilleros del club vallecaucano, donde es considerado un \u00eddolo indiscutible.<\/p>\n<p>Su legado en el cl\u00e1sico vallecaucano es igualmente impresionante. Con 19 anotaciones, es el m\u00e1ximo goleador de estos enfrentamientos. El nombre del hist\u00f3rico jugador siempre resurge con fuerza cuando se acercan estos importantes duelos, como el que se disputar\u00e1 pr\u00f3ximamente en el Pascual Guerrero.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fuente:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/colombia.as.com\/futbol\/de-idolo-en-colombia-a-la-carcel-en-italia-asi-es-la-vida-del-pitufo-de-avila-maximo-goleador-historico-del-clasico-vallecaucano-f202510-n\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AS Colombia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"La vida de Anthony &#8216;El Pitufo&#8217; de \u00c1vila dio un giro dr\u00e1stico.
