Anderson, a former midfielder for Manchester United has been sentenced to prison for allegedly neglecting to pay child support.
A family court judge in the retired football player's hometown made the ruling last week, but it wasn't made public until that very night.
The 36-year-old has been informed that if he doesn't turn up the £45,000 he owes, he will have to spend time in a prison in the city of Porto Alegre in southern Brazil.
The Irmao Miguel Dario Prison is the name given locally to the detention facility where former Brazil international Anderson will be sent.

In an interview with a Brazilian newspaper, Anderson reminisced about his time at Manchester United and said that he was the father of four children in 2015 and nine at the beginning of the current year.
He said that for almost a year, he and his former Portuguese colleague Nani were "adopted" by Cristiano Ronaldo and slept at his house on stretchers.
He said, "I thank him very much. He adopted me. We lived at Ronaldo's house for almost a year. We left because we wanted to leave.

"For him we could have stayed there. We didn't spend anything. The guy took us to training, fed us, had a cook for us. There was a swimming pool inside and outside the house, a jacuzzi, and a tennis court."
Meanwhile, Manchester United star Casemiro has decided on his future, as he is reportedly linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
