Overview

• Jeweler Marcelo Assad Scaff Filho filed a civil suit in São Paulo claiming more than R$40 million over 11 pieces Margareth Costa Carvalho ordered for a Sardinia fashion week and did not pay for or return.
• Fantástico published audio in which Carvalho asks Scaff to send her consignation documents, contradicting the defense’s claim that the jeweler imposed consignation to avoid taxes.
• Scaff says he issued a R$246,000 consignation note for international transit and later replaced it within a 99‑day window with a sales invoice whose corrected total exceeds R$40 million.
• Carvalho’s lawyer presents an April 2024 settlement receipt as proof of paid transactions and alleges some items are fake, while the jeweler contests the claim and cites expert reports attesting to authenticity.
• A G1 report says the judge rejected the broad settlement document as too generic to prove payment, and the lawsuit continues without a judicial ruling on the merits.
