Couple asks court to make Flamengo's Pedro leave Rio home
A couple has asked a Rio de Janeiro court to recover a house occupied by Flamengo striker Pedro.
The property is in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, and the case is before a civil court in Barra da Tijuca.
Pedro bought the house at auction after the couple had left it following a mortgage-related procedure by state-owned Caixa Econômica Federal.
Brazil's Superior Court of Justice annulled that procedure in August 2026, ruling that the couple had not been personally notified to settle the debt.
The couple says it has regained the right to seek possession and asked Pedro to leave voluntarily, but he has stayed.
They are now seeking an urgent court order to regain the home, and the court's decision on that request had not been confirmed.
