According to the Federal Court, the property came to light after Anderson Gustavo Scario Gómez sued his brother Fabio Luciano Moraes and his mother Terezinha de Lourdes Scario, alleging that both donated the hotel innocuously. That is, the mother bought the inn and transferred the land to the name of only one son, depriving Anderson of the right to receive his inherited value.

According to the Public Notice of the 23rd Federal Court of Curitiba, the first auction will take place on November 21 in virtual and in-person auctions with an initial bid of R$1,883,890.00. If there are no bidders, the second auction will take place on 25 November with an initial bid of BRL 1,130,334.00.
