Lawyer linked to the Bitcoin Pharaoh is released 24 hours after being detained
Source: PortaldoBitcoin Original Title: Lawyer linked to Bitcoin Pharaoh released 24 hours after being detained Original Link: Lawyer Kamila Martins Novais, detained on Tuesday during a Federal Police operation, was released only 24 hours later after the Federal District Women’s Prison (PFDF), in Gama, received a release order issued by the Justice.
Kamila is under investigation for suspected money laundering and participation in a criminal organization linked to GAS Consulting, a cryptocurrency pyramid scheme created by Glaidson dos Santos, the “Bitcoin Pharaoh.”
According to reports, Kamila was detained even though she was already monitored by an electronic ankle bracelet, but she remained in the facility for only one day. The operation executed 24 search and seizure warrants and issued nine preventive arrests, investigating 45 individuals and legal entities for suspected illegal fundraising with crypto assets.
The court also ordered the blocking of up to R$ 685 million and the seizure of properties. The Federal Police and the Revenue Service state that the scheme moved more than R$ 2.7 billion over five years, harming 62,000 investors.
Kamila and her husband, Felipe José Silva Novais, are identified as central members of the “Núcleo Brasília,” which allegedly expanded the scheme in the Federal District. The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office states that the couple moved R$ 281.7 million through companies used to launder money, including the lawyer’s office.
Despite her release, Kamila remains under investigation for money laundering, financial crimes, ideological falsehood, and participation in a criminal organization.
Bitcoin Pharaoh
GAS Consulting attracted clients with promises of returns that supposedly came from cryptocurrency trading. Later, its pyramid scheme business model triggered a series of investigations by Brazilian authorities. Investigations estimate that R$ 38 billion was moved through the scheme over the years.
Glaidson, who has been in custody since 2021, became known as the “Bitcoin Pharaoh”; his wife Mirelis Zerpa was arrested in the US and extradited to Brazil.
