The Court of Justice of Mato Grosso (TJ-MT) upheld the seizure of a R$ 7.5 million mansion belonging to businessman Carlos Alberto Gomes Bezerra, also known as Carlinhos Bezerra. The seizure is intended to guarantee unpaid alimony owed to Denise Jorge Machado.

Bezerra was previously sentenced to 36 years in prison for the January 2023 murders of Thays Machado and William Cesar Moreno. The alimony dispute followed the cessation of payments in December 2023, leaving arrears of approximately R$ 51.6 thousand. The court rejected defense arguments that the property was a protected family residence, noting that Bezerra had previously declared the mansion as part of a private company’s capital stock.
