According to a report published by The Sun newspaper, Richarlison has accused Brazilian senator Flavio Bolsonaro of seizing his private island without paying a thing and wants the police to open an investigation. Richarlison made the remarks in a video clip he posted for his followers.
Richarlison's accusation
Richarlison said in the video clip he posted for his followers: "I did not want to sell the island to him, and that is why they exploited the situation in court. We were finalising the ownership papers for the island, and they said the matter could take months or even years to resolve."
He added: "Flavio Bolsonaro and this man Weller Tomas went there, and within 24 hours they seized the island. Here the justice system failed. As far as I know, they took the island without spending a single penny. I spent around 10 million reais there and got nothing."
Call for an investigation
According to a report published by The Sun newspaper, Richarlison wants the police to open an investigation.
Bolsonaro's response
Bolsonaro denied the accusations and branded them "fake news" in a comment he posted on a video by Brazilian influencer and singer Juliette.
Richarlison replied, "And what about my island?"
