The lawyer following the case of lawyer Deolane Bezerra, who was arrested on Wednesday morning (4), said that “she is calm”.
The influencer was arrested in an operation by the Civil Police of Pernambuco against a money laundering scheme focused on illegal gambling. The investigation indicates that the criminal organization had moved R$3 billion from illicit activities.
“She is calm, there is nothing serious here,” said Romão Ulisses, lawyer for the Prerogatives Committee of the Brazilian Bar Association in Pernambuco (OAB-PE).
The OAB representative monitors the progress of the influencer’s detention and testimony to guarantee the rights of those in custody.
The lawyer also said that she will undergo a forensic examination at the city’s Forensic Medical Institute (IML) and that she should remain imprisoned in the capital of Pernambuco, at the Recife Women’s Penal Colony.
Deolane’s mother, Solange Alves Bezerra, was also arrested this morning. During the arrest, Solange became ill and was taken by the Fire Department to the Hospital Português, in the city center.
The two are being held at the headquarters of the Department for the Repression of Property Crimes (Depatri), in the west of the capital of Pernambuco.
In total, 19 arrest warrants and 24 search and seizure warrants are being served against suspects involved in the scheme.
At a press conference, the general delegate of the state’s Civil Police, Renato Rocha, stated that at least one suspect is on the run.
“It is a very large seizure, in just one target we found 11 Rolex watches. The investigation began with a seizure of R$180,000 in December 2022,” he added.
