Deolane Bezerra remains imprisoned amid PCC money laundering probe

Lawyer and influencer Deolane Bezerra remains imprisoned at the Tupi Paulista Women's Penitentiary following her arrest on May 21 as part of ‘Operação Vérnix’. The investigation targets suspected involvement in a criminal organization and money laundering linked to the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC).

Authorities allege that Bezerra received and moved illicit funds, using her public image and various companies to disguise the resources. Her defense denies all accusations.

Investigation reports also mention Danilo Brito, Bezerra’s stepfather, noting that an electricity bill for a property linked to Everton de Souza—identified by police as a financial operator for the scheme—was registered in Brito’s name. Brito recently expressed his emotional distress regarding Bezerra’s incarceration while visiting the area near the penitentiary.
