According to the Fire Department, soldiers from the Campo Grande barracks were called around 1pm to remove Maria de Santana’s body after she suffered a sudden illness. The victim was at the Itaú branch on the Bangu promenade, located at Avenida Cônego Vasconcelos, number 65A.
Investigation of the ‘Uncle Paulo’ case
‘Uncle Paulo’ was taken by Érika Souza Vieira Nunes to an agency also on Avenida Cônego de Vasconcelos to withdraw around R$17,000 from a loan made in his name. At the time, the woman entered with the elderly man in a wheelchair and when going to the counter she asked him to sign a document authorizing the collection of the money.
However, images show that Paulo did not show any reaction, at which point employees at the bank branch became suspicious and called teams from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu), who certified the death. The police were then called and Érika was arrested in the act.
The two arrived at the bank via an app car. Images show the moment when Érika took her uncle out of the car and placed him in a wheelchair in the garage of the commercial building where the agency is located. At the police station, the driver said that the elderly man was still alive when he got out of the vehicle.
When asked about the woman’s death, Itaú has not yet responded. The space is open for manifestation.
