Understand the case

The Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) decided, in a hearing on Thursday (05), to keep lawyer and influencer Deolane Bezerra, preventively arrested, as well as her mother, Solange Alves Bezerra. The two were arrested on Wednesday morning (04), during Operation Integration, which investigates a gang that moved around 3 billion reais from illegal games.

Preventive detention maintained

In a videoconference hearing on Thursday (05), at the Recife Custody Hearing Center, it was decided that Deolane Bezerra and her mother Solange Alves Bezerra would remain in preventive detention. Both are being held in the Recife Women's Penal Colony, located in the Iputinga neighborhood.

In addition to Deolane and her mother, the court also decided to keep Maria Bernadette Pedrosa Campos in prison, who is the mother of Eduardo Pedrosa Campos, one of those investigated in the same operation.

Habeas corpus petition

Arguing that Deolane's preventive detention was illegal, her lawyers filed a habeas corpus petition, but Judge Cláudio Jean Nogueira Virgínio decided to reassign the case to another judge, Eduardo Maranhão, of the 4th Chamber, so that he could analyze the petition. At the time of writing, the petition had not yet been judged.
