The judge's decision was made earlier this month, and Anderson is expected to be confined to his cell under close supervision if he is incarcerated. This is a serious situation for the former midfielder, who won four Premier League titles during his playing career.

Anderson made his debut for Brazil in 2007 and earned eight caps for his country. He played for Manchester United from 2007 to 2015 before joining Brazilian club Sport Club Internacional. The reason for his departure from Manchester United was due to a decline in playing time.

This is a developing story, and it's possible that Anderson will release a statement in the coming weeks as he prepares to face the consequences of the court's decision.
