Former Man United Midfielder Anderson Ordered to Pay R$1 Million in Child Support or Face 30 Days in Custody

Brazilian reports say a Porto Alegre family court issued the ultimatum this month, giving him the choice to settle arrears or serve a short custodial term.

Overview

  • The ruling was made on September 3 in Porto Alegre and surfaced in wider reporting on September 23.
  • Arrears were recorded as just over one million reais as of July 28, equivalent to about £142,000–£143,000.
  • If detained, Brazilian media say he could be held under a closed regime, or a semi-open arrangement if facilities are overcrowded.
  • Anderson has not commented publicly, and his lawyer confirmed the case involves minors while citing a court secrecy order.
  • Coverage also recalls a separate cryptocurrency money‑laundering probe reported years earlier, with its current status not stated.
