Erasmo Carlos estate inheritance dispute

Overview

The heirs of late Brazilian singer Erasmo Carlos, Leonardo and Gil Esteves, filed a criminal complaint with the Rio de Janeiro Fraud Police Station alleging suspicious bank transfers from their father’s account. The heirs claimed that R$ 300,000 was transferred to the singer’s widow, Fernanda Passos, on November 22, 2022—the day the artist passed away—and an additional R$ 45,000 was moved weeks later. The heirs argued these movements required judicial authorization and suggested the actions could constitute embezzlement or theft through abuse of trust.

Subsequently, the Public Ministry rejected the criminal complaint, determining there were insufficient elements to justify a criminal investigation. The agency also noted a “misogynistic bias” in the presentation of suspicions against Fernanda Esteves. While the criminal accusations were blocked, civil disputes regarding the estate, including the ownership of an apartment in Rio de Janeiro and other assets, remain ongoing in court.
