Deolane Bezerra remains detained in PCC money laundering probe
Influencer and lawyer Deolane Bezerra remains in preventive detention as part of Operation Vérnix, an investigation into a money laundering scheme linked to the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) criminal organization.
The São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office (MP-SP) has requested the maintenance of her detention, describing her as a central figure in the organization's financial core. Prosecutors allege she used her personal accounts and businesses to conceal illicit funds, employing a 'smurfing' tactic involving numerous small deposits to evade detection.
The investigation identifies a three-tier structure within the criminal group: a decision-making core led by Marcola and Alejandro Camacho, an operational core, and a financial core involving Bezerra.
Supreme Court Minister Flávio Dino recently denied a request for her release, stating there was no manifest illegality in her detention. Additionally, Bezerra's law license has been suspended since her arrest on May 21, 2026.
