Richarlison accuses Flávio Bolsonaro over Angra property and asks for federal probe
Footballer Richarlison has accused presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro of taking possession of a mansion on Ilha Comprida, in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro state.
Richarlison says he invested about R$10 million in the property between 2020 and 2021 with two business partners.
He says he refused an offer from Flávio to buy the property and later lost possession through a court process.
Richarlison alleges Flávio and lawyer Willer Tomaz took possession within 24 hours and that he received no money.
The property is now in the possession of Tomaz, who is described as a friend of Flávio, following a judicial battle that ended last year.
Richarlison has asked Brazil’s Federal Police to investigate, but the allegations in his video are not established as fact in the available information.
The case matters because it concerns a presidential candidate and a disputed property worth millions of reais.
