Operation Vérnix, which arrested influencer Deolane Bezerra, investigates the use of a cargo transport company based in Presidente Venceslau (SP) as a front company. According to the investigation, the structure would have been used to move money from the leadership of the PCC (First Command of the Capital) and transfer amounts to Marcola’s family and third parties.
Deolane spent the last few weeks in Rome, Italy. Her name was included in Interpol’s Red Diffusion, but the influencer returned to Brazil on Wednesday (May 20, 2026). Agents carry out search and seizure warrants at addresses linked to the businesswoman, including her home in Barueri (SP).
The investigation began in 2019, after the seizure of notes and manuscripts from 2 prisoners at Penitentiary 2 of Presidente Venceslau. The material cited internal orders from the faction, contacts with members of the high hierarchy and mentions of violent actions against public servants.
One of the excerpts mentioned a “carrier woman”which would have collected addresses of public agents. From there, investigators began to investigate the cargo company’s relationship with the PCC.
According to investigators, Deolane received R$1,067,505 in fractional deposits below R$10,000 from 2018 to 2021. Almost 50 deposits were also identified for 2 of her companies, totaling R$716,000.
