Brazilian influencer and lawyer Deolane Bezerra remains in preventive detention in São Paulo as part of ‘Operação Vérnix’, an investigation into money laundering for the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) criminal organization. Bezerra has maintained her innocence, stating in a letter to her family that she is confident her innocence will be proven and characterizing the investigation as an attempt to damage her reputation. During the proceedings, authorities have seized over R$ 27 million in assets, and the OAB has suspended her law license. The São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office (MP-SP) has characterized Bezerra as a central figure in the organization’s financial operations, describing her as the ‘true cashier’ of the group. Prosecutors allege she used personal and corporate accounts to conceal illicit funds and convert them into high-value assets. Recent developments indicate that the MP-SP has formally requested the judiciary maintain her detention. Investigators describe a sophisticated scheme dating back to 2019, involving shell companies and front businesses to move large sums of money. The criminal structure is reportedly divided into three branches: a decision-making core led by Marcola and his ~~brother,~~ brother Alejandro Camacho, an operational core, and a financial core where Bezerra is allegedly a primary actor. While the defense for Marcola and his family has requested a reevaluation of their detentions and the possibility of electronic monitoring, the MP-SP argues that continued detention is necessary to ensure public order and the application of criminal law, noting that some family members remain at large.
