Cafu, who twice won the World Cup with Brazil, has lost five of his properties over financial debts.
A Brazilian tribunal has seized the properties from the former right-back as he is not able to cover his debts and lend from his business Capi Penta International Player.
The business was set up in 2004 by Cafu and his wife Regina and administrates the careers of various footballers and athletes.
"It's my personal problem," Cafu had previously said.
"I can give my properties, my car, my house, I can pay my debts how I want."
Cafu has another 15 properties in his and his wife's name that have mortgages of between 1.1 million dollars and six million dollars.

You have to have a very long delay to be ruined by being multimillomario.

The usual: they get to football, they become millionaires and then they spend everything in mansions, ruinous investments, unnecessary things and they lose everything. I do not wish him bad, I hope he comes out of the well. But I try to be empathetic with these people and it does not work out. I always come to mind the thousands of families who do have a bad time, with high wages, and who never receive a news.
