The influencer and lawyer Deolane Bezerra was preventively arrested on Thursday (21) during Operation Vérnix, launched by Gaeco (Special Action Group to Combat Organized Crime) in Presidente Prudente, in the interior of São Paulo.

The prosecutor also stated that Deolane was close to family members of Marcola and Alejandro Camacho, including participating in parties, trips and family meetings.
Tickets and start of investigation
The case began in 2019, after the seizure of manuscripts and tickets with inmates at Presidente Venceslau Penitentiary II.
According to investigations, the documents described internal dynamics of the PCC and mentioned a “woman from the transport company”, who would help in attacks against public agents.
This “woman”‘s identity was not revealed by the investigation. From this, three successive investigations were launched.
The first investigated the prisoners found with the manuscripts. The second identified the company Lopes Lemos Transportes, identified as an instrument of money laundering by the faction.
During the so-called Operation Side by Side, the seizure of a cell phone revealed conversations and bank receipts that, according to investigators, would connect Deolane to Everton de Souza, known as “Player”.
According to the document, “proof of deposits allocated to accounts linked to the one being investigated were found”. ShovelFor the police, this set of records would be compatible with operational action within the financial structure investigated.
Next steps
The investigation remains under the responsibility of Gaeco de Presidente Prudente and the Civil Police of São Paulo.

Other side
In a note, the Deolane’s defense manifested itself on Thursday night (21). Read in full:
“The technical defense of lawyer Deolane Bezerra Santos comes, with the utmost respect to the institutions of the Justice System and the Democratic Rule of Law, to provide the necessary clarifications on the events that resulted in her preventive arrest on today’s date, 21.05.26: initially we emphasize her most absolute innocence, as well as, that the facts will be duly clarified by her, at an opportune moment. For now and as due compliance, we consider the measures disproportionate signed against Deolane and this defense panel will continue to cooperate technically with the Court to demonstrate the lawfulness of its activities as a lawyer that it is, fully trusting in the discernment, reasonableness and impartiality of the Judiciary”.
Through 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, was born surrounded by lessons, narratives and persecutions that have been repeated for some time. Accusing is easy. It’s difficult to prove. In Brazil, unfortunately, people often first expose themselves, destroy their image and condemn themselves in public opinion… and only then seek evidence to support what was done. And that is 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 continues to be persecution, even when they try to give it another name.”
