On Tuesday (9), the São Paulo Court denied the defense's request to transfer her to a General Staff Room or replace preventive detention with home detention. When requesting the measure, the lawyers claimed that the unit had unsanitary conditions, citing lack of hygiene, excessive heat and even the presence of scorpions in the cell. However, the images, obtained by TV Globo, show a different scenario: organized cells, clean corridors and an area designated for sunbathing. There are also photos of individual rooms with folded linen, television and personal belongings accommodated.

Special Pavilion of the Tupi Paulista Women's Penitentiary Montage/g1/Reproduction Request for freedom The Fifth Panel of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) denied on Tuesday (9) a request for freedom from Deolane Bezerra, a digital influencer and lawyer who has been in pre-trial detention since May 21. Ministers Ribeiro Dantas, Joel Ilan Paciornik, Maria Marluce Caldas and Messod Azulay Neto understood that it is not appropriate for the STJ to intervene at this time because other requests for freedom for the influencer are pending analysis in lower court courts. Deolane's lawyers argued to the STJ that the case does not meet the legal requirements for preventive detention. They claimed that there would be no concrete risk to public order, criminal investigation or the application of criminal law and that the evidence gathered is already in the possession of the authorities. The ministers recommended that the São Paulo Court of Justice speed up the analysis of the influencer's defense appeals. The defense also pointed out that: preventive detention should be replaced by home detention because Deolane is the mother of a 9-year-old child, being the only one responsible for their care; the grounds for the arrest were generic and did not individualize the reiteration of the crime, destruction of evidence or escape, without indicating current concrete facts. The facts investigated are from 2018 to 2021; other precautionary measures are appropriate and sufficient in the case, such as surrender of the passport, prohibition of leaving the city and prohibition of contact with those being investigated. STJ denies Deolane Bezerra's request for freedom in Tupi Paulista Police report indicates that Deolane transferred R$13.6 million between 2018 and 2022 in his personal accounts, while another R$14 million passed through three of his companies. For investigators, the origin of the resources is "spurious" and shell companies were identified in the name of the influencer, located in cities in the interior of São Paulo, close to the Presidente Venceslau prison, sharing the same address with dozens of other shell firms. The influencer's defense denies any type of involvement with organized crime or illicit money, stating that all her receipts are declared and justified. Minister Ribeiro Dantas, rapporteur of the case, highlighted the seriousness of the facts and said that, despite her being the mother of a child under 12 years old, this does not automatically guarantee freedom or house arrest. Ribeiro Dantas stated that the decision that authorized the arrest is duly substantiated and there are no elements that justify a review, at this time by the STJ, which must await analysis by the responsible bodies. "The favorable personal conditions, alleged absence of risk of escape and spontaneous return to Brazil, are not sufficient to rule out sufficient elements to eliminate the need for custody when objective elements are present that recommend maintenance or authorization for replacement by alternative measures in a context of organized action and risk of reiteration", he stated. During the trial, the influencer's lawyer, Aury Lopes Jr, stated that the elements do not justify the arrest and that there was a media arrest and asked that Deolane remain free. The lawyer stated that she was investigated exhaustively over four years, but between 2022 and 2024 there was no statement from the Public Prosecutor's Office in the case nor a request for her to provide clarification. "Four years of investigation to have a media arrest. There is no risk for proof, which is accounting and fiscal, it is already guaranteed. There is no risk of escape. [Deolane] Was traveling for work, with her daughter, and returns home. [...] Arrested at home with a rifle, media arrest, excessive imprisonment and which certainly traumatized her daughter. [...] It was an arrest to humiliate the character, but the one who is arrested is a woman, who has a 10-year-old daughter, who had her birthday last week. [...] The girl he needs his mother. There is no father present", said the lawyer. The Attorney General's Office defended the maintenance of the prison in view of the possibility of committing crimes again. "Criminal organizations have always used people from minors, people with some degree of emotional imbalance, madness, or even more recently, mothers of families, knowing that society holds the family to the highest level of respect and credibility. And because of these situations, we cannot forget that it is one thing for a mother to commit an illegal act once, but another to do it continuously and repeatedly", stated the Deputy Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras. The operation that arrested Deolane Bezerra was based on notes found in a cell at the Presidente Venceslau Penitentiary (SP) National Newspaper/ Reproduction Indictment Deolane Bezerra was indicted for the crimes of criminal organization and money laundering by the Civil Police of Presidente Venceslau (SP). In addition to her, six other people were also indicted after the corporation concluded the Operation Vernix investigation report. The document details the results of the investigations after compliance with the legal measures in the phase that led to the arrest of the influencer and others under investigation. According to the police, the group targeted by the operation was still active at the time of the arrests and was promoting the restructuring of companies allegedly used to hide and conceal assets and financial resources. The researchers also identified evidence of the use of new legal entities, recent asset movements and alternative mechanisms for the circulation of values, including operations with virtual assets. Based on the new evidence, the Civil Police formalized seven indictments, including that of Deolane for money laundering and criminal organization, and presented additional representations to the Judiciary. Among the requests are the precautionary seizure of vehicles seized during the operation, the expansion of property blocks and the judicial custody of jewelry and watches located in the diligences. Investigations against Deolane This is just the most recent chapter in an extensive history of the influencer's problems with the authorities. Below, remember the main investigations, arrests and processes involving the name of Deolane Bezerra: July 2022 Search and Seizure for laundering in a betting company: The São Paulo Civil Police carried out search and seizure warrants at Deolane's mansion in Alphaville. The action investigated crimes against the popular economy and money laundering related to a sports betting company that sponsors the influencer. At the time, two luxury cars (a Porsche and a Land Rover Discovery) were seized. February 2024 Investigation by photo with drug boss's necklace: Deolane became the target of an investigation by the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro after publishing photos at the Disney Ball, in Complexo da Maré, wearing the gold necklace of drug dealer Thiago da Silva Folly, "TH", head of the Third Comando Puro (TCP). At the time, the influencer posted a video on her networks explaining the selfie: "I went to Complexo da Maré yesterday, I was there at the Disney ball. I was well received, I didn't spend a single dollar. I took a photo in general, with a string, without a string, they put the string on me, took it off, and then, that's who I am," said the influencer. The police investigated a possible association with drug trafficking. September 2024 The first arrest in Operation Integration: Deolane's first major legal setback occurred in September 2024, when she was preventively arrested in Recife (PE). Operation Integration, conducted by the Civil Police of Pernambuco, investigated a money laundering and illegal gambling scheme that generated around R$2 billion. At the time, the influencer's luxury goods were kidnapped. “I know things will clear up,” she declared in a handwritten letter from prison. After legal back and forth, she obtained a habeas corpus. At the beginning of 2026, the Federal Court assumed jurisdiction over the case, annulling the previous state acts and transferring the investigation to the Federal Police. April 2026 Target of the PF in Operation Narco Fluxo: About a month ago, Deolane became the target of a mega-operation by the Federal Police called Narco Fluxo. The PF began investigating her for alleged participation in a network that used the artistic medium and digital platforms to launder money from international drug trafficking, clandestine raffles and betting. Intelligence reports indicated that the lawyer's bank account functioned as a "transit account" to hide funds from a criminal organization suspected of sending more than three tons of cocaine abroad.
