According to delegate Murilo Batalha, responsible for the case, the woman is suspected of being part of a gang specializing in various crimes across the country. In this case, the victim was in captivity, being threatened and family members extorted to free the doctor.

According to the Civil Police, its participation is fundamental to the crimes, as it provided bank accounts for criminals to make transfers without leaving a trace in the criminals’ names in Bahia.
