Willian Arão sues former goalkeeper Doni in the USA after investing $200,000 in a real estate project
Willian Arão has filed a lawsuit against former Brazilian goalkeeper Doni after allegedly losing $200,000 in a failed real estate investment.
Willian Souza Arão da Silva, a player for Santos FC, has initiated legal action against Doniéber Alexander Marangon, commonly known as Doni, and a real estate company in which he is a partner, following a reported loss of $200,000 in a real estate investment in the United States. The lawsuit claims that Doni's company, D32 Wholesale, failed to deliver on contracts that were supposed to lead to construction projects in Florida. This legal action is part of a growing list of complaints against the company, which has faced allegations of not completing promised construction projects and causing urban disruptions due to abandoned sites.
Reports indicate that D32 Wholesale has come under scrutiny for its failure to adhere to contractual obligations, negatively impacting investors like Arão, who expected returns on their investments. Local media has highlighted that the real estate troubles surrounding Doni's company include not only a failure to deliver properties but also a lack of refunds for investors who have pumped money into the projects. Arão’s decision to go public with his lawsuit brings attention to the ongoing legal issues faced by the company and raises questions about its operational practices in the U.S. real estate market.
In a statement to EPTV, a Globo affiliate, Doni refuted the allegations, claiming that his company is currently undergoing a corporate restructuring process. He indicated that this restructuring involves reviewing and renegotiating contracts, which he believes will resolve the issues cited by investors. This context suggests that while Doni seeks to rehabilitate his company's image amidst allegations of misconduct, investors like Arão are left questioning the security and viability of their investments, further complicating the narrative around D32 Wholesale's operations and prospects in the future.
