Overview
- Brazilian police detained Jo on November 18 in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, locating him at a street food barbecue and taking him to the 16th precinct.
- The arrest warrant stems from a 2024 case enforcing unpaid child maintenance, with documents listing a debt of R$220,744.57, about £31,500.
- Local reports describe this as his fourth arrest over maintenance enforcement following detentions in Campinas and Contagem last year.
- Jo’s lawyer said the debt was a reasonably small amount that had been or would be paid and expressed hope for his release, while officials have not confirmed any settlement.
- It remains unconfirmed whether the debt concerns the child he shares with influencer Maiara Quiderolly, who has previously accused him publicly of missed or irregular payments.
