‘Below Deck’ star Joao Franco shared troubling post about his ‘moral compass’ just weeks before shock arrest over fatal brawl

Former *Below Deck* star João Franco and his brother Karlos were arrested in Turkey after a fight in Bodrum in which a 17-year-old shop worker died. The incident has drawn attention to a social media post Franco shared weeks earlier about reassessing his values and showing more humility and compassion.

The brothers were reportedly involved in an altercation with employees at a clothing shop on Saturday night; the reason for the argument is unknown. Security footage described in the article appears to show Karlos throwing the first punch, while João seems at points to try to intervene; the teenager reportedly fell and hit his head on stairs. Franco has previously spoken about alcohol-related behaviour and said in 2020 that he had stopped drinking.
