A top-flight footballer's WAG and her dad have been busted for laundering money from illegal gambling through their family company.
Fernanda Nogueira, the wife of Flamengo striker and Qatar World Cup star Pedro, has reportedly been indicted for money laundering, along with 24 other people including her father, businessman Vanderlei Goncalves Nogueira.
The Rio Grande do Sul Civil Police reportedly seized a number of high-end vehicles in Barra da Tijuca, in the West Zone of Rio the Genaro, on Friday (April 14).

Two armoured Toyota Hilux vehicles were reportedly seized as part of an investigation into criminal activities that involved laundering illegal gambling money through legitimate companies. The authorities say that the vehicles were the result of money laundering.
Fernanda, a child psychologist, is married to Pedro Guilherme Abreu dos Santos, 25, better known as 'Pedro', 25, who played for the Brazilian national football team at the World Cup in Qatar and who is a striker at Serie A club Flamengo in Rio.
Investigators allege that Fernanda, along with her father, is a partner in a family company that deals with rental properties in Rio Grande do Sul and that the company laundered illegal gambling money.
Filipe Bringhenti, of the Police Station for the Repression of the Crime of Money Laundering of the State Department of Criminal Investigations (Deic), said: "The investigation indicted 24 people, including family members and others. Those investigated laundered money from a criminal misdemeanour, in a Jogo do Bicho case."
'Jogo do Bicho' is a popular gambling game in Brazil that is widely played throughout the country despite being illegal.
Bringhenti said: "The revenue from the Jogo do Bicho is invested in these companies so that it appears to the authorities that it is legal money, sold or supplied to these companies."
The investigation is ongoing. The Civil Police of Rio said that football superstar Pedro is not a focus of the case.
