Rio court orders seizure of Renato Aragão’s mansion over unpaid property tax
A Rio de Janeiro court ordered the seizure of Renato Aragão’s mansion in a case brought by the city over unpaid property tax.
Aragão is a comedian known for playing Didi Mocó in the Brazilian comedy group Os Trapalhões.
The judge acted after Aragão was notified of the case but did not pay or secure the outstanding tax debt.
A court officer must visit the property to identify and value it, and formally notify Aragão and his wife.
After notice, Aragão has 30 days to challenge the decision; the debt can also be paid or arranged in instalments through city services.
If the debt is not paid or arranged, the mansion could be auctioned to cover it, though no auction date has been set.
