Ex-Corinthians and Brazil keeper sued in US over investment scams | OneFootball

Former goalkeeper Doni, who played for Corinthians, Santos, and Roma, as well as being called up to the Brazilian National Team, is reportedly being sued in the United States for real estate investment scams.

Doni is said to have become the target of lawsuits in the US for promising, but not delivering, financial returns on overseas properties. The company D32, in which the former goalkeeper and Werner Macedo are partners, would raise funds in Brazil and abroad, promising returns of up to 15% per year. This would be done through the construction of houses in mid- and high-end condominiums in the state of Florida, United States.

State documents also reportedly show that Doni and his partner were summoned to attend a hearing at the Orlando Courthouse, scheduled for this Tuesday. There, they would address a debt of 59 thousand dollars, equivalent to R$ 309 thousand.

Finally, the lawsuit was reportedly filed by two women, residents of Orlando. If the former goalkeeper and his partner do not appear, the judge in the case could order the arrest of both for non-compliance with a court order, something provided for under US law. The information about Doni's lawsuit was first reported by G1.

Doni's Career

After stints at Santos and Cruzeiro, Doni moved to Roma in 2011, where he won three titles. A year later, in 2012, he went to Liverpool, but suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest that ended his career.

For the Brazilian National Team, Doni was called up for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, serving as Júlio César's immediate backup. In addition, he won the Copa América in 2007.
