But according to sportinginghana a source disclosed that the vehicle was not actually stolen, but in the hands of his enstranged wife. It says that he just wants the police to retrieve the vehicle for him.

This latest news has added to the drama, which came to the open in Febuary this year, when the player was arrested by the Accra police, on the charge of assault of stabbing his wife with a kitchen knife.

His wife, Richlove Paintsil, later denied the assault allegations against her husband, claiming that they just had a family dispute, which should not be for public consumption.

But by then the damage has been done to the skillful defender's career. His contract, with his Isreali club Hapoel Tel-Aviv was not renewed and clubs in Europe, which were considering signing him especially in UK, then changed their minds, because of the domestic violence tag.

He then went to South Africa, and joined the Cape Town club - Santos FC since October. The latest drama in the Paintsils' Saga is still unfolding, we will see what will happen next.
