BRThe Superior Court of Justice (STJ) in Brazil denied a habeas corpus petition filed by the defense of influencer and lawyer Deolane Bezerra, maintaining her pretrial detention. The decision was made by Minister Ribeiro Dantas on July 1, 2026, though the ruling remains confidential. Deolane was arrested on May 21 as part of Operation Vérnix, which accuses her of money laundering for the criminal gang Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). Investigations allege she engaged in significant financial transactions linked to the organization’s leadership. Earlier this month, Deolane and another accused, Marcola—a leader of the PCC—were charged with organized crime and money laundering. Marcola is currently incarcerated at the Federal Prison in Brasília.
