JUSTICE DETERMINES ARREST OF A R$ 4.3 MILLION CAR PURCHASED BY A FLAMENGO PLAYER

The Justice of Rio determined the seizure of a car bought by Thiago Maia, from Flamengo, for R$ 4.3 million in January of this year. This is because, four months after the purchase, in May, the player received the news that Mercedes-Benz had suffered a restriction on attachment and circulation due to a criminal action for embezzlement. Surprised, Thiago Maia sued a bank and the car shop involved in the business with the accusation of forgery, fraud and tax evasion. The news was first given by UOL.

To acquire the car, the Flamengo steering wheel offered a Dodge Challenger, a BMW X6 and another R$ 1.7 million in finance as payment. The vehicle is no longer with the player, but in São Paulo.

The bank involved in the process asked for confidentiality, which was denied. In addition, the chosen judge also determined that the defendants pay the debt to the athlete within the next five days.

To UOL, Thiago Maia's staff stated that the steering wheel is the victim in the middle of the case for having bought a car that had not been paid for by the store. According to the report, a man looked for the Flamengo steering wheel and claimed that he was the owner of the car, but that he had left it at the store on consignment to be sold. It turns out that the owner did not receive the amount and also does not recognize the signature of the sales registration certificate, which indicates fraud.

Within all this, Thiago Maia told the Justice that he tried to undo the deal, but that the store owners delayed resolving the problem, closed the store and stopped answering phone calls or responding to emails.
