According to Brazilian publication Globo, the 33-year-old is being investigated \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>for his suspected role in an illegal scheme last year while working as an assistant manager at Turkish Super Lig club Adana Demirspor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following an inquiry by officials in his birthplace of Porto Alegre in the south of Brazil, a total of eight people were charged with the same offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More precisely, the gang is suspected of diverting funds and then concealing the money trail through crypto operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation has been nicknamed ‘Cryptoshow' by the Rio Grande do Sul state Public Prosecutor's office<\/a>, and Anderson's Porto Alegre flat was reportedly raided by officials in 2020, with his personal computer taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anderson later stated that he had been operating as a cryptocurrency dealer, but denied any involvement in criminal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 30 million Brazilian reais ($5.5 million) was allegedly taken from a big domestic manufacturing enterprise in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors say the money was put in 11 bank accounts spanning four states in South America's largest country, then laundered through the purchase of cryptocurrency both abroad and in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked for comment by local media behemoth Globoesporte<\/a>, Julio Cezar Coitinho Junior, the four-time Premier League winner's lawyer, said: “We have not been summoned, it is difficult to talk right now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is an investigation underway, Anderson has said he is aware. But Anderson is going to prove that he was a victim, not an accomplice. That is his position.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Anderson's current club, where he concluded his playing career last year before taking over as manager, has yet to comment on his legal issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
