In this paper I discuss whether superluminal particles exist in the general relativistic theory of gravity. It seems that the answer to this question is negative. In truth the result may only represent a difficulty to {\bf special} but not general relativity, the later allowing both Lorentzian and Euclidian metrics. An Euclidian metric does not restrict speed. Although only the Lorentzian metric is stable \cite{Yahaloma}, an Euclidian metric can be created under special gravitational circumstances and persist in a limited region of space-time causing possible superluminality.
