Macedo’s empire has had legal troubles. In 2008, he and nine of his associates were charged in Brazil with laundering roughly $2 billion.

As reported by The Associated Press, "The church allegedly used fake companies to launder the money, moving the assets abroad and then returning them in the form of loans used by Macedo and his accomplices to buy businesses, prosecutors said."

Brazilian courts ultimately did not convict Macedo or his co-defendants.


More issues surfaced in 2019, when authorities in Angola charged four leaders of Macedo’s church with financial crimes, including money laundering.
