Report: Lewandowski Bought São Paulo Home From Federal Police Target in 2024

Overview

• Registry records show the 777 m² house in a gated community in South São Paulo was purchased for R$ 9.4 million through a family company in March 2024.
• The seller, Alan “China” de Souza Yang, has been investigated by the Federal Police in fuel-sector tax-evasion cases and was later included in Operation Carbono Oculto, which alleges ties among suspects to the PCC.
• Ownership records indicate the property was bought at auction in 2019 by China’s father for R$ 4.9 million, transferred to China’s wife for R$ 4 million in December 2023 and registered in February 2024 before the sale to Lewandowski.
• Federal Police documents cited in the reporting say China’s wife, Anajá, is suspected of acting as a straw owner, with large flows moving through her accounts despite China’s low declared income.
• Lewandowski says he did not know of the investigations into the seller at the time and that the documentation showed the property was regular, as separate reports highlight about R$ 6.5 million paid by Banco Master to his family’s law firm, most of it after he entered government.
