Family of socialite from Rio who was missing updates her health status and points out the driver’s “perverse” attitudes

Now away from the suspect, Marina Felfeli, manager of the iconic Chopin building, where Regina lives, stated that the lady has recovered from the scare. “She is at her brother’s house, very loved and happy. Beautiful and full, as always. She’s going to paint at her house so she can return to Chopin soon. When she comes back, we’ll throw a big party! She deserves it”, Marina told F5, from Folha de S. Paulo. Felfeli highlighted that Regina is “recovering from trauma”: “She is great, happy, lucid”.

The person who disclosed the case to the media was former state deputy and businesswoman Alice Tamborindeguy. Also on the portal, she reported having tried to contact her friend for months until she understood what was going on. Tamborindeguy was still surprised by the outcome of the story, as she never suspected Regina’s former driver. “He was always very kind, a good person, he always treated me well”he stated.

The victim’s nephew described the man from another point of view. “He forced my aunt to sign the stable union. I found several medicines with the active ingredient from ‘Good Night, Cinderella’ in the mansion. She was drugged all the time.”pointed out Álvaro McWhite. “He arrived saying that he was very poor, that he needed an opportunity and started providing services for her. She became friends with him. You know that movie about Queen Victoria with the Hindu? It was more or less that. But, unlike this scoundrel, the Hindu was good.”said the nephew, making reference to the film “Victoria and Abdul: the Queen’s Confidant”, from 2017.

For Álvaro, Regina’s naivety in the situation was aggravating in the case. “My aunt has a life that people say can’t be real. She has a lot of artwork, a lot of jewelry. She is an extremely generous person, as she is rarely seen these days. She was a great philanthropist, much loved by society. But she’s not evil. Suddenly, she stopped receiving calls. He answered her cell phone and said she was taking a shower or sleeping.”he reported, adding that he learned of the “macabre plot” after identifying losses in his aunt’s assets.

He currently lives in São Conrado, in one of the six properties that the elderly woman owns in the same condominium. “It was there that I discovered what he was up to. He drugged my aunt, forged documents and stole more than R$20 million in jewelry. What he did was very wicked. He tried to create accidents in the mansion so she would fall.”, he stated, also accusing him of physical aggression. The nephew concluded by revealing that Regina already has a date set to return home: “She will receive her friends on the 4th [de maio], at Chopin, to watch the Madonna show from the balcony. She is well, she is free, she is changing.”.

According to F5, the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro highlighted that there is no record of what happened at the police station in the region. Meanwhile, the Public Ministry stated that it needs more information to open an inquiry and investigate the case.

Driver speaks out

The disappearance of the resident of the luxurious Copacabana building was also commented on by businessman João Chamarelli, who said he represented Regina’s family. According to him, the driver became a kind of butler, a handyman. After gaining the socialite’s trust, he dismissed the oldest employees, claiming that the house didn’t need such a large team. “Until she realized that there was no one left: just her and him. She remembers and reports the episodes, of small, medium and great evils”, claimed.

The driver, however, stated that all the accusations against him are false, and that he intends to seek satisfaction in court. “It’s all a lie. They made the biggest setup with me. Everyone who said that about me will be prosecuted. I have evidence in my favor. My lawyers are chasing the outlets that reported fake news. This week everything will be revealed. João Chamarelli is a swindler, the biggest embezzler in Rio de Janeiro. He says his name is Chamarelli when it’s actually Anderson Nascimento. In fact, he already defaulted on Regina.”he told Metrópoles.
