Judicial decision

According to the case, Denílson claimed financial difficulties after ending his football career. However, the child’s mother argued that the former athlete has accumulated assets and did not seek an agreement before the lawsuit.

When issuing the order, Judge Ana Paula Azevedo Gomes stated that he is a “habitual debtor” and set imprisonment for up to three months, in accordance with article 528 of the CPC.

Discovered by São Paulo, Denílson played as a defensive midfielder and was part of the squad that won the Libertadores and the Club World Cup in 2005. He then played for Arsenal for about five seasons, returned to Tricolor in 2011, and also played for clubs such as Al-Wahda, Cruzeiro, Botafogo-SP, and Grêmio.
