Ex-Grêmio and Corinthians Midfielder Douglas dos Santos Sought on Child-Support Arrest Warrant

His defense says the sealed family-court case is being handled through legal measures.

Overview

  • The 6th Family Court of Porto Alegre issued the warrant in September 2024 for unpaid child support of R$ 26,270.73, signed by Judge Antônio Claret Flôres.
  • The order mandates 30 days in custody in a closed regime, remains valid for two years, and can be averted by full payment of the debt.
  • Authorities have not located the 43-year-old, and multiple outlets report he is being treated as a fugitive after unsuccessful attempts to execute the warrant.
  • Coverage cites conflicting figures, with the court amount at R$ 26,270.73 and separate reports of accumulated arrears around R$ 137,000.
  • Lawyer Christian Walker states the defense is pursuing appropriate remedies under secrecy of justice.
