"Who washes R$24,500?" says Deolane's sister in a new publication
Daniele Bezerra, Deolane Bezerra's sister, spoke again this Thursday afternoon (21) about the influencer's arrest. In posts on social media, Daniele stated that her sister is innocent and denied the accusations of involvement in money laundering by the PCC (First Command of the Capital).
"Deolane is innocent. There is no such thing as 'laundering R$24,500'. Who washes R$24,500?", he asked.
In addition, Daniele denied the possibility of Deolane owning more than 30 companies. "She never had 35 companies, as part of the media has been reporting irresponsibly. The truth will emerge, within the law and justice", he stated.
Deolane's sister also stated that she may make a statement if the influencer does not return home.

"And I make it clear: if she doesn't return home, I'm ready to go live on all TV channels that want to hear the defense's clarifications, always within the law and responsibly", he said.
She ended by making a request for justice. "Tomorrow will be a new day. We continue with faith, strength and truth. I believe in Justice", he concluded.

Deolane Bezerra underwent a custody hearing and is preventively detained at the Santana Women's Penitentiary, in the north of São Paulo. CNN Brasil learned from Civil Police sources that she should be transferred to a prison in Tupi Paulista, in the interior of the state.
Laundering scheme
The investigations revealed a million-dollar financial mechanism used to hide, dissimulate and reinsert into the formal economy values linked to the top leadership of the PCC criminal faction.
In 2019, Criminal Police agents seized notes and manuscripts inside Presidente Venceslau Penitentiary II, which were with two prisoners. The contents of the materials revealed some internal dynamics of the faction, such as the actions of imprisoned leaders and possible attacks against public agents.

Three investigations were launched after the discovery, seeking to identify all the layers involved in the scheme. According to the authorities, the content of these notes included internal orders from the faction, contacts with members of high hierarchical position and mentions of violent actions against public servants.
Among the excerpts analyzed, there was mention of a "transportation woman", who had collected addresses of public agents to subsidize attacks planned by the PCC. The second investigation sought to identify who the woman mentioned was and what the transport company's relationship with the faction would be.
The investigation resulted in Operation Lado a Lado, which revealed incompatible financial movements, asset growth without sufficient economic backing and the use of the transport company as the true financial arm of the faction.
During the operation, the seizure of a cell phone opened a new investigative front. The content removed from the device revealed conversations with people linked to the PCC leadership, as well as evidence of financial transfers and connections with Deolane Bezerra.

What Deolane's family says
On social media, the influencer's lawyer and sister, Daniele Bezerra, stated that Deolane's new arrest means persecution against the lawyer. See full note:
"Today, once again, they are trying to transform assumptions into truths and headlines into convictions. The arrest of Deolane Bezerra, on allegations of participation in a criminal organization, is born surrounded by lessons, narratives and persecutions that have been repeated for some time. Accusing is easy. It is difficult to prove. In Brazil, unfortunately, many times, one first exposes oneself, destroys one's image and condemns oneself in public opinion... and only then seeks evidence to support what has been done. And that is It's serious. It cannot be accepted that Justice is used as a spectacle, nor that people are treated as guilty before due legal process. Prison cannot be an instrument of pressure, marketing or social revenge. Anyone who knows the story, the struggle and its trajectory knows that there is a huge difference between facts and narratives created to fuel attacks. We will continue to trust in the truth, in Justice and in the right to defense, because persecution remains persecution, even when they try to give it another name."
