Ana Hickmann filed a new complaint against her exhusband Alexandre Correa this Tuesday (19). According to columnist Mônica Bergamo of Folha de S. Paulo, the presenter recorded a crime report in which she asks to investigate the businessman for the crimes of false documents, ideological falsehood, use of false documents, money laundering, criminal association, embezzlement and crimes against the national economy.
The complaint was filed at the São Paulo General Police Station by lawyer Fernando José da Costa, who represents Hickmann. According to the publication, the presenter hired a private expert who uncovered suspicions that Correa was running a criminal organization. The plan would involve employees of the excouple's companies, employees of a notary's office and a bank.
The same report also revealed that the businessman had been running a pyramid scheme. Ana's lawyer explained that Alexandre would benefit from millions of dollars, “such as two donations of R$200 million in which he appears as the sole beneficiary”. Although the two have seven companies between them, the focus of the investigation was on Hickmann Serviços Ltda, based on records created between January 1, 2018 and October 31 this year.
According to the analysis, the total value of debts accumulated by the excouple's company during this period exceeds R$40 million. In addition, several irregularities were identified, such as: Such as the lack of accounting records for large financial transactions, the discounting of the same duplicate at more than one financial institution, and evidence of “forged Ana's personal signature on checks, bank financing, and other documents on numerous occasions.” “.
“The suspicion is that a criminal structure has been established in Ana Hickmann's companies, in particular at Hickmann Serviços Ltda., where several cases of fraud have been committed, causing millions of losses to Ana, the company itself and other victims such as individuals, legal entities, etc financial institutions,” explained Fernando José da Costa.

The opinion also highlighted a power of attorney granted on November 1, 2022, in which Ana Alexandre would grant full power of attorney, on her behalf and on behalf of Hickmann Serviços Ltda. to act. The document would have been created with an electronic signature from the presenter. However, she stated that she had never given her power of attorney and that she was not aware of the power of attorney.
Another point raised was the alleged donations of millions to Alexandre. During the investigation, two documents of the type “Public Arbitration Declaration” were found, allegedly registered by the 1st Arbitration Court of Baixada Paulista. The documents were donations to the businessman of R$200 million each, one of which was paid in kind and the other as a deposit into an account.
“These are values that are completely beyond reasonableness and must be investigated,” assured Ana’s lawyer. The investigation revealed that one of these donations had been made by a man identified as Miguel on behalf of a thirdparty company. He is also identified as a possible buyer of Ana and Alexandre's property in Perdizes, São Paulo. Miguel would have purchased the property in 2018.
The following year the presenter would have found out that the sale had not taken place. Despite this, the man lived there while she was still paying the IPTU and basic bills such as electricity and water. In May 2022, a man identified as André Luiz wrote Alexandre a check for R$15 million. The man initially showed interest in buying the apartment in Perdizes, but then became Miguel's interlocutor in the negotiations about the property. Another check worth R$10 million that Miguel issued to Correa on May 10, 2022 was found by the police.
In the lawsuit, Ana's defense asked for the confiscation of Correa's passport, a ban on him being allowed to stay away from the city where he lives, and also asked for the violation of banking secrecy of the businessman and two women who worked with the thencouple . Since the breakup, the presenter has denounced Alexandre for assault, domestic violence and property violence.
In Itu, in the interior of São Paulo, where the two lived, a police investigation was launched to investigate the crimes of forgery and use of false documents. Since the documents presented show that the crimes took place in the capital São Paulo, the moderator's defense requested that the ITU investigation be transferred to a police station in São Paulo.
Alexander's defense
The defense of Alexandre, accused by Folha de S. Paulo, explained that he had not had access to the complaint and that he would not comment until he had read its contents in full. “Alexandre Correa collected funds from several individuals and entities with the promise of paying unrealistic interest, constituting a veritable 'financial pyramid,'” the document handed over to police said.
The businessman had previously denied fraud or irregularities in the management of the companies. The statement states: “The initial funds that Mr. Alexandre received regarding the abovementioned financing” would have been “diverted to accounts other than those for the financial transactions of the companies and Ms. …” Ana Hickmann”.
To Terra, Enio Martins Murad, Correa's lawyer, claimed that all the allegations made by Ana were untrue. “One has the impression that someone has created a false dossier that is used by Ana Hickmann and that this person is looking for a millionaire trail that does not exist.” Alexandre Belo Correa has neither R$200 million nor R$20 million embezzled, he didn't embezzle a single cent from the couple's companies,” he said.
“All resources acquired, whether from the foreign market or from banks, were fully utilized by the couple's companies and partners. “The questions that there is a pyramid with 200 million reais are fictitious questions,” he continued.
