The owner of Esportes da Sorte, Darwin Filho, and his wife appeared at the Civil Police of Pernambuco this Thursday (5).
The two gave statements and are at the disposal of the authorities. The company of which Darwin is the CEO is being investigated for involvement in money laundering and illegal gambling.
The police operation investigating Esportes da Sorte resulted in the arrest of influencer Deolane Bezerra, her mother and eight other people. According to the police, the scheme allegedly moved R$3 billion from illegal gambling.
19 arrest warrants and 24 search and seizure warrants were issued against suspects involved in the scheme, all issued by the 12th Criminal Court of the District of Recife.
THE CNN sought the betting company for a position on presenting the couple to the police, but had not received a response by the time this note was published.
Deolane Bezerra
Lawyer and influencer Deolane Bezerra was arrested at her family home in Recife, in an operation launched by the Civil Police of Pernambuco last Wednesday (4). The Justice of Pernambuco decided to keep her in preventive detention after a custody hearing held on the morning of this Thursday (5).
The session was held via videoconference from the Recife Women’s Penal Colony, where both will remain detained. Deolane’s mother, Solange Alves Bezerra, also had her arrest upheld after the hearing.
This morning, Deolane’s fans were at the prison door with posters in support of the lawyer.
