Richarlison, who plays for Tottenham in England, said he acquired a mansion on Ilha Comprida, Angra dos Reis, between 2020 and 2021 alongside Alencar da Silveira Júnior and Renato Velasco. He invested around R$ 10 million in the property.
The footballer said Flávio Bolsonaro was among prospective buyers and visited the island with a drone. Richarlison declined to sell the property to the senator.
“Flávio Bolsonaro and the so-called William Thomas took possession of the island. The guys took the island without spending a penny. I spent around ten million there and received nothing.”
Richarlison accused Flávio Bolsonaro and lawyer Willer Tomaz of taking possession of the island through the courts within 24 hours. He said he received nothing and described the process as being taken “na mão grande.”
He asked the Federal Police to investigate and said he no longer wants the island back, only his money. He also said the judiciary failed.
The dispute involves Sport 70, linked to Richarlison and Velasco, and WT Administração, owned by Tomaz. Although Flávio Bolsonaro was listed as a witness, he was not a direct party to the lawsuit.
The case first gained attention in September 2022 after a report by journalist Guilherme Amado published by Metrópoles.
