The Civil Police of Rio Grande do Sul stated that Dilson Alves da Silva Neto, known as Nego Di, was arrested on Sunday morning (14). The action took place at a residence on Jurerê beach, in Florianópolis.
According to the police, the arrest is part of an investigation into 370 fraud crimes.
Nego Di had been the target of an operation by the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Sul against laundering of around R$2 million with digital raffles on the internet, on Friday (12).
At the time, Nego Di’s wife was arrested in flagrante delicto, as the agents found a weapon for exclusive use by the Armed Forces, unregistered, in the possession of the suspect.
On Saturday night (13), after the operation that arrested his wife, Nego Di posted on social media: “I’m here to say that my wife and I are fine! Everything is fine, thank God.”
Nego Di said that he and his wife were “prepared for what happened yesterday”. We knew it would happen sooner or later, and everyone knows why yesterday happened. Thank you very much for all the loving messages, and you can be sure that my work and my life will not stop”, wrote the influencer.
The Civil Police of Rio Grande do Sul reported that it will release more information about the case this Sunday.
CNN is seeking Nego Di’s defense to find out his position on the arrest.
