Virginia Fonseca and ex‑husband Zé Felipe investigated for R$21 million PIX transfers

Brazilian influencer Virginia Fonseca and her ex‑husband, singer Zé Felipe, are the focus of a financial investigation by Brazil's Council for the Control of Financial Activities (COAF). Documents obtained by revista Piauí show that their former joint venture, Talismã Digital, received roughly R$ 22.4 million between March and September 2024. Of that amount, R$ 21.4 million arrived in 44 transactions through the instant‑payment system PIX, while the remaining R$ 1 million was transferred via 18 TED operations.

The majority of the deposits were made by AMP Pay Marketing e Negócios, which contributed five transfers totaling R$ 17.7 million. Authorities flagged the pattern as atypical because AMP Pay operates under the Simples Nacional tax regime, which caps annual revenue at R$ 4.8 million. Virginia’s legal team argues the funds correspond to duly contracted advertising campaigns and were fully declared with supporting invoices.

Although the couple formalised their divorce shortly after announcing their separation, they remain linked to the investigation due to the period they jointly owned Talismã Digital. Virginia Fonseca also oversees a portfolio of at least 38 active companies, including a stake in the cosmetics brand We Pink, which claims revenue exceeding R$ 1 billion in 2025.
