The influencer and champion of A Fazenda 13, Rico Melquiades, was surprised this Tuesday morning (14) with a civil police operation. The action is part of Operation Game Over 2, which investigates the involvement of influencers and others in illegal online gambling. During the operation, which took place in Alagoas, police officers executed a search and seizure warrant at the comedian’s home, seizing his cell phones and his car.

Additionally, Melquiades’ bank accounts were frozen, indicating a possible financial connection to illegal gambling. Although the investigations are still ongoing, the intervention of the police confirms that the influencer is one of those under investigation as part of the initiative.

The operation focuses on fighting the clandestine online gambling market, with particular attention to the cities of Maceió, Penedo and Arapiraca. Authorities are investigating networks that promote these games, often led by influencers who entice followers to participate in these activities.

Rico Melquiades, who began his career as a digital influencer in 2018, has been sharing his routine and family interactions in a fun way on social media. In interviews, he emphasized that his main motivation for entering the artistic world was to provide a better life for his family, who always faced financial difficulties.

Investigations into the influencer’s involvement in gambling continue and more details are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
