Court orders arrest of singer Gusttavo Lima in Bets case

In an explosive development, the Pernambuco Court ordered the singer’s preventive detention Gustavo Limain the context of Operation Integration. The decision came from judge Andrea Calado da Cruz, of the Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJ-PE), after accepting a request from the Civil Police and rejecting the arguments of the Public Ministry, which suggested precautionary measures instead of prison. The news was initially released by the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper and quickly spread across the country, generating great repercussion.

Blocking of Properties and Bank Accounts

In addition to preventive detention, the court decision includes the blocking of all properties registered in the name of Gustavo Lima — both in their CPFs and CNPJs linked to the artist. The singer’s bank accounts and financial investments were also frozen, in yet another aggressive measure by authorities investigating the artist’s connection to a money laundering and illegal gambling scheme.

Investigation Connects Gusttavo Lima to Criminal Scheme

Judge Andrea Calado highlighted that Nivaldo Batista LimaGusttavo Lima’s real name, demonstrates a “alarming lack of consideration for justice“. The singer is suspected of maintaining “intense financial relationships” with individuals under investigation, including José André da Rocha Netoowner of the betting shop VaideBetand his wife Aislla Rocha. Suspicious financial movements between Lima and these individuals raised strong indications of their possible participation in the criminal scheme.

Involvement with Aircraft and Investigated Persons

A key point in the investigation involves an aircraft that transported Gusttavo Lima back to Brazil after a trip to Greece. There are suspicions that this aircraft was used to leave José André da Rocha Neto and Aislla Rocha abroad, making it difficult for Justice to act. The judge argued that, due to the seriousness of the facts and the possibility of escape, alternative measures to prison would be insufficient.

Defense has not yet manifested itself

To date, the defense of Gustavo Lima did not issue any official statement about the court decision. The singer, who has always cultivated an image of integrity on social media, now faces the challenge of responding to serious accusations involving financial crimes.

Connections with Deolane Bezerra and Washing Scheme

THE Operation Integration also targeted other prominent figures, such as the lawyer and digital influencer Deolane Bezerrawho was arrested at the beginning of the investigations. The operation investigates a criminal organization accused of money laundering and illegal gambling, activities in which Gusttavo Lima was, according to authorities, directly or indirectly involved.

Airplane and Companies Involved

During the operation, the São Paulo Civil Police seized a plane that belonged to Ballad Events and Productionscompany owned by Gusttavo Lima. Although the company’s lawyer stated that the aircraft was sold to JMJ Participaçõesfrom José André da Rocha Netothe National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) reported that the singer was still officially the owner. According to the Pernambuco Civil Police report, the transaction is seen as an effort to hide assets acquired through illicit activities.

Statements by Gusttavo Lima

In response to the seizure of the aircraft, Gusttavo Lima used his social networks to defend himself. The singer claimed that the plane was sold last year and stated that his life is guided by “honor and honesty”. However, investigators point out that the aircraft transaction is yet another piece in the money laundering scheme involving illegal gambling.

New Revelations About the Scheme

In addition to VaideBetthe scheme would also be connected to the company Lucky Sportswhich would have used the Ballad Events and two other companies to launder money. Recently, the owner of Lucky Sports, Darwin Henrique da Silva Filhoand his wife, Maria Eduarda Quinto Filizolahanded themselves over to the authorities, which could intensify investigations into Gusttavo Lima’s involvement.
