Former Manchester United midfielder Anderson has been accused of laundering £4.7million through cryptocurrencies in Brazil, according to reports.
Anderson spent seven years with United and scored in their shootout victory over Chelsea in the 2008 Champions League final.
He was named by Brazilian newspaper Globo as one of eight people under investigation by a state prosecutor into a scheme designed to divert 35 million Brazilian reals (£4.7m) from the state stock exchange and launder money using cryptocurrencies.
