Everyone there calls me a deputy, because there is a project in which I participate. He helps all people in need. In the future, I would consider the possibility of becoming a deputy in Russia, in fact. I’ve thought about it twice already,” he shared.
Ari played in the Russian Premier League from 2010 to 2018. The Brazilian defended the colors of Spartak Moscow, Krasnodar and Lokomotiv Moscow. With the latter, he became the champion of Russia and the owner of the Cup of the country.
