Chairman of the parliamentary commission that investigates suspicious transactions with cryptocurrencies On Thursday in Brazil ordered the police to take away the former footballer Ronaldinho Gaucho give evidence after two failures to appear.
The commission investigating signs of digital currency fraud has summoned the former PSG, Barcelona and Milan player twice for an explanation, most recently this Thursday.
However, the Brazilian explained his absence by problems with flights to the capital of Brazil, which the congressmen did not accept.
This was stated by MP Ricardo Silva, a member of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI).
On Tuesday he did not show up, we postponed the date, warning that a new absence would entail a request for forced driving, and that is what the president of CPI determines this Thursday morning.
“Forced driving” is a legal figure used by the authorities to force a witness or defendant to testify in a particular case.
Silva said there have been “several flights” to Brasilia since Tuesday, and even if there were none, it would not be a “legally protected argument” to justify his absence.
“The law says that the call must be fulfilled, why was it not provided for?” – the deputy is perplexed.
Ronaldinho suspected of involvement in scam attributed to company 18kRonaldinhowhich offered false returns of over 2% per day to those who invested a minimum of $30 in virtual currencies.
In his place on Thursday, his brother and agent Roberto de Assis Moreira did appear, who separated the name of Ronaldinho from this company and said that in fact the Brazilian star was a “victim”.
The use of my brother’s image and name was never allowed.
He assured that they “never” were partners 18kRonaldinho and that he does not know how it was created, but at the same time, he accused, naming names and surnames, two more people of being behind the company.

De Assis Moreira acknowledged his relationship with another company. Watch Corporation 18Kbased in the US and selling watches, although he specified that they left the country soon after.
