The owner of the investigated bet is the son of a bookmaker

The owner of Esportes da Sorte, a company also investigated as part of Operation Integration, Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, is the son of Darwin Henrique da Silva, a bicheiro who was already the target of an operation in 2022.

However, the investigations reveal that, together with the companies of José André de Rocha Neto, the company Balada Eventos e Produções LTDA, owned by Gusttavo Lima, is also involved in the alleged money laundering from gambling.

Rocha Neto was arrested during the operation, but is considered a fugitive, as he was in Greece, next to Gusttavo Lima during the execution of the warrants. Rocha Neto’s defense stated that Balada Eventos sold the plane to one of the companies involved in the investigation and that, therefore, it has no connection with the crimes.
