Richarlison claims Flávio Bolsonaro took his Angra dos Reis island

Richarlison Denounces Senator Flávio Bolsonaro Over Angra dos Reis Island Dispute

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison publicised a bitter political and judicial controversy in Brazil by claiming he lost a luxury property on Ilha Comprida in Angra dos Reis without recovering an investment of approximately 10 million reals, according to En Cancha. The forward accused Flávio Bolsonaro and attorney Willer Tomaz of taking possession of the island through court maneuvers after he refused a direct purchase offer.

Disputed Property Timeline From 2020 to Recent Court Rulings

The conflict originated during the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2021, when Richarlison acquired and conditioned the real estate holdings alongside his father and sports executives. According to En Cancha, the legal battle spanned nearly three years across the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro and the Superior Court of Justice, ultimately yielding unfavorable rulings for the player’s corporate entities. The property now officially belongs to WT Administração de Imóveis, a corporate firm owned by attorney Willer Tomaz.

Legal Ultimatums and Political Denials in Brazil

Attorney Willer Tomaz responded to the player’s social media video by issuing a 72-hour deadline for Richarlison to present a single official document—such as a deed, registered contract, or SPU registration prior to July 2022—proving the 10 million real disbursement, as reported by En Cancha. Meanwhile, representatives for Flávio Bolsonaro rejected the allegations completely, stating that the politician was never a formal party to the litigation and only appeared as a witness at the defense’s request.
