Anderson, former player for FC Porto, has been sentenced by Brazilian justice to a prison term of up to 30 days, which will be waived upon payment of more than 1.3 million reais, about 164 thousand euros, related to child support debts.

The arrest warrant is valid for two years; to avoid imprisonment, Anderson will have to fully settle the outstanding amount.
