Journalist André Gonçalves recently “pinned” when she pointed out that he was unfit for work.

understand the case
In November last year, André Gonçalves was under house arrest with the use of an ankle bracelet ordered for nonpayment of Valentina’s pension.
This was announced by Sylvio Guerra, the actor’s former lawyer syringes that he has been unemployed since 2016 and therefore cannot pay the amount, which amounts to R$ 350,000, due to interest.
Cynthia Benini’s defense, in turn, substantiated the arrest warrant, stating that André was paid for works and owned an artistic production company. The firm also pointed out that “unemployment alone does not exempt the polluter from paying child support.”
The artist told O Globo newspaper he had tried to borrow R$450,000 to pay child support payments he owed his daughters Manuela and Valentina, but a debt to the IRS prevented negotiations with the bank .
André also revealed that some friends tried to organize crowdfunding to help him, but he refused. He also had a proposal for marketing director, which also didn’t materialize. The actor’s current partner, Danielle Winitz, was willing to help him pay overdue child support but also declined.
This was announced by the actor’s lawyer syringes that they are waiting for a notification from the judiciary and the arrival of the electronic anklet so that André remains under house arrest. He expected the actor to try to reach an agreement, but he still can’t reveal which one as it is a judicial process in secret.
André Gonçalves also told O Globo that he was retiring from acting amid the controversy.
