Deolane turned over R$140 million in just two years, says Gakiya to CNN
Deolane Bezerra was arrested this Thursday morning (21) during an operation against a money laundering scheme by the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital). After a custody hearing, the court maintained the preventive detention of the influencer and lawyer.
In an interview with CNN 360°, São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office Lincoln Gakiya revealed that in just two years, Deolane's accounts generated R$140 million: "She has absolutely no proof of service provided, whether in law or otherwise that justifies this amount of money," stated Gakiya.
The Public Prosecutor's Office broke the influencer's banking and tax secrecy over the last five years, identifying a large volume of undeclared income and the dispersion of resources across several legal entity accounts.
According to the prosecutor, Deolane had 35 companies opened in Martinópolis, Presidente Prudente region, with addresses registered in a low-income housing complex, characterized as false addresses. Another 15 companies were opened in Santo Anastácio, and the same pattern was repeated in the Ribeirão Preto region.
"This was opened precisely so that she could try to outwit the authorities, including the IRS, and be able to continue laundering money, justifying that the money she has is all related to her activities on social media", concluded Gakiya.
According to the prosecutor, Deolane has been part of the PCC's financial architecture since at least 2022 and maintained a personal and intimate proximity to the family of Marcola and Alejandro Camacho (Marcola's brother), attending the homes and parties of family members of the faction leaders.
"There are several photos of her birthday, of her presence at birthdays, on trips with Alejandro's family," said the prosecutor.
In addition, she would have been very close to Everton de Souza, responsible for financial control of the accounts of Marcola and Alejandro, both prisoners in the federal penitentiary system.
Gakiya highlighted that Deolane represents a "new face" of the organization's collaborators: "Made up of people who joined the PCC without being factionalized, she is not a 'baptized' participant, but she is a fundamental piece so that the faction, or even for faction leaders, can use these people to launder money", he explained.
The prosecutor also cited other similar cases, such as that of Antônio Vinícius Gritzbach, a whistleblower murdered at Guarulhos Airport in 2024, and influencers linked to the world of funk, recently arrested by the Federal Police for involvement in organized crime money laundering.
