Social media influencer Deolane Bezerra is being investigated for alleged connections to a money laundering criminal organization following her substantial donation to Neymar's foundation. The police state that they are examining Bezerra's suspicious financial transactions, which are believed to have been used to conceal illegal cash flow.
Social media influencer and lawyer Deolane Bezerra, who has millions of followers, has found herself at the center of a major money laundering investigation following a £170,000 donation to a foundation linked to football legend Neymar.
The Instagram star, suspected of being connected to a criminal network in Brazil, was previously detained in 2024 on charges of illegal gambling and fraud but was released after claiming she had committed no crime. Bezerra is once again facing a challenging situation after police detected suspicious money movements in her bank accounts.
The money in question is reported to be linked to a criminal organization that allegedly used a network of influencers and musicians to conceal illegal cash flows. Investigators claim that the group used the entertainment industry and digital platforms as a shield to launder proceeds from illegal gambling, dubious raffles, and drug trafficking.
According to police records, over £778,040 (approximately 5.3 million Brazilian Reais) was transacted from Bezerra's account in just one month. This activity, which took place last year, revealed that the famous influencer received £63,124 from a music production company and shortly after sent £170,288 to Neymar's foundation.
Law enforcement also claims that Bezerra made payments of over £161,480 to a luxury car dealership during the same period. The police believe that these transactions lack a clear commercial purpose and that the account was used for rapid transfers to conceal the source of the money. Authorities specifically emphasized that Neymar has not been personally investigated in connection with the case.
In the expanded investigation, it is alleged that the criminal organization divided the money into small amounts to avoid detection, used shell companies, and converted funds into cryptocurrency. During raids conducted as part of the operation, numerous luxury vehicles, jewelry, firearms, electronic devices, and large amounts of cash were seized as evidence.
Bezerra has not yet commented on the latest allegations but has denied all accusations in the past. The investigation is still ongoing.
Deolane Bezerra was married to the famous "funk paulista" artist Kevin Nascimento Bueno, known by his stage name "MC Kevin." MC Kevin tragically passed away at the age of 23 after falling from a hotel balcony just two weeks after the couple's wedding.
