Former Man United Midfielder Anderson Faces 30 Days in Jail Over Unpaid Child Support

A sealed Porto Alegre family court order ties the threat of detention to arrears of roughly £142,000.

Overview

  • The order was issued on September 3 in Porto Alegre and surfaced publicly on September 23 through Brazilian and UK reporting.
  • The arrears cited in the decision totaled just over one million Brazilian reais as of July 28, equating to about £142,000–£143,000.
  • Brazilian reports say any custody would begin under a closed regime, with a semi-open option allowing daytime release only if overcrowding requires it.
  • Attorney Julio Cezar Coitinho Jr confirmed the case involves minors and declined further comment due to a secrecy order.
  • It is not publicly known whether the debt has since been paid or whether any detention has been scheduled, and Anderson has issued no statement.
