On the afternoon of the 16th local time, a bank in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, welcomed two new customers.
One of them looked very old and was in a wheelchair, and the other was younger, a woman, pushing the wheelchair.
On closer inspection, the old man was pale, his eyes were closed, his limbs were motionless, his head was hanging back weakly, and his belly was undulating......
It's like fainting? no, it's more like I'm dead......
(2 customers)
Out of politeness, the staff didn't ask much, just asked what business the woman wanted to do.
Her expression was a little unnatural: "I will draw the loan for him, 17,000 reais (about 22,843.44 yuan)." ”
Of course, the loan had to go through various processes and sign a series of documents, and during this time, the staff keenly noticed that the old man did not seem to have touched since he entered the door......
He took out his phone and started recording.
The old man's head was tilted back unreasonably, and the woman seemed to realize that something was wrong, and she wrenched him very hard, and said to him, "Uncle Paulo, are you listening?"

As soon as she let go, the old man's head immediately lay back, as if his muscles were not moving at all.
However, she was still "talking" with the old man: "You have to sign, if you don't sign, we won't get (the money)." ”

"I can't sign it for you," she said, straightening the old man's head again, "I can only do what I can, just sign it like this, Paulo Roberto Braga, your name." ”
The old man still didn't respond.

She tried to shove the pen into the old man's hand, but of course it didn't work.
As if to alleviate the embarrassment, she inexplicably asked the staff: "Did he hold it?"
The staff had to answer her: "I didn't see it." ”
(Staff video)
At this time, the woman continued to play the role of "the old man just didn't want to cooperate", and while continuing to stuff a pen into his hand, she said, "Hold it tight, uncle." Sign it now, don't give us any more headaches. ”
After speaking, he smiled awkwardly at the staff......

Of course, at this time, everyone in the bank understood - most of the old man had passed away, and this woman wanted to use his identity to take advantage of his identity and finally take out a loan......
The staff couldn't pretend to be blind anymore, and directly interrupted her:
"I don't think he's very good, he's really not very good. ”
The woman didn't respond positively, but just shook her hand twice in front of the old man: "Do you feel anything (uncomfortable)?—— but he doesn't say anything." ”
The staff didn't want to cooperate with her anymore, and said euphemistically:
"You see, he's not very good, he's very pale. ”

"But that's what he looks like. Uncle, uncle, if you're not feeling well, you're going to go to the hospital, do you want to go back to the hospital?" she said, turning her head to the side, as if listening to what "uncle" was saying.
But apparently, she didn't get any response......
(Staff video)
The video was recorded here, and the part that was not filmed was that the woman was arrested on the spot - although she had been acting, someone from the bank had already called the police and emergency services, and they were quickly arrested.
On the other hand, the medical staff who rushed to the scene judged that the old man had passed away a few hours before entering the bank, and he had long lost the value of first aid. He is currently being transferred to the medical examiner's office pending further autopsy.
As for who the woman really was, her statement to the police was as follows:
她真名是Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes,老人也真叫Paulo Roberto Braga。
She is really the niece of the old man, and she has been taking care of the old man all these years.
However, the police have not ruled out the possibility that she lied, and are still investigating whether she is a "real niece", how the old man died, whether it has anything to do with her, whether she has an accomplice, etc.
At present, less than a day has passed since the case, and the truth has not yet been revealed.
However, the Brazilian police do have reason to suspect her, because similar things happened in 2022, and there is a possibility of imitation of the crime.
2022 was a much rougher one, with two Irish men trying to claim their uncle's pension after his death.
(Two convicts)
But the two didn't get their uncle's bank card at all, they took an expired social welfare card and went, and they were not the agents designated by the old man, so of course the money was not taken.
So they went home and carried the old man's body to the bank, covering it tightly with hats and masks, trying to prove that they were "not fraudulents".....
That's all it takes, but the psychological quality of these two people is not good, halfway through the play, they couldn't hold back first, jumped out and shouted to the staff:
"He's dead! He's dead! If you hadn't given me money before, he wouldn't have died here!"
Of course, the autopsy proved that the old man had died a long time ago, and the process of moving the bodies was witnessed, which was full of loopholes, and in the end one of them was sentenced to one and a half years, and the other to two years......
Although the acting skills of this "niece" Erika are also not good, at least she did not blow herself up, which can be regarded as an "improvement".......
Under Brazilian law, Erika will be charged with desecration of a corpse and fraud, and there is a precedent in her precedent, and the chances of her exonerating should be slim.
It's just that the old man is hard, and the people are gone, and he has to be used as a prop for loans......
