Former Milan midfielder Ronaldinho is believed to be close to bankruptcy, with claims he has less than €6 in the bank.
The Brazilian has been in a long legal battle with the Brazilian government over land he built on in Porto Alegre.
In 2015 it was ruled that the developments were on protected land and had to be demolished, with a fine of €187,000 for environmental damage.
According to UOL Esporte, neither Ronaldinho nor his brother have complied with the ruling, resulting in the seizure of their passports.

The fine has now risen to around €2m, but the former Rossonero does not appear to have the money to pay it, despite his huge and ongoing deal with Nike.
It's claimed he has less than €6 in the bank, and also owes money to his brother.
Ronaldinho had also acted as an ambassador for Barcelona, but the Blaugrana have looked to distance themselves from him in the wake of his support for far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
The 38-year-old spent two-and-a-half seasons with Milan after leaving Barça, before returning to Brazil with Flamengo.
He later played for Atlético Mineiro, Querétaro and Fluminense.
