Paqueta has been under investigation since August 2023, and the charges were made public in May 2024. He was accused of getting booked deliberately to affect the betting market. The Brazilian player had denied the allegations, saying he was "extremely surprised and upset" by the charges.

Paqueta has been a key player for West Ham, scoring four goals in 33 Premier League appearances during the 2024-2025 season. His skills will be crucial as the team aims to secure a spot in Europe. Official confirmation of Paqueta's innocence is expected from the FA soon.

After a long silence on social media, Paqueta recently posted a picture of himself celebrating a goal, accompanied by the word "God" and a heart emoji. This was his first post since the charges were made public, and it seems to be a message of defiance.

Paqueta's case is now close to being resolved, and it appears that he will be cleared of the betting charges. This news will come as a relief to Hammers fans, who were shocked by the accusations.
