Wednesday, April 17, 2024 – A Brazilian woman who wheeled her uncle's dead body into her local bank and tried to take out a loan in his name, has been arrested.
The lady identified as Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes was captured on video during the incident
at a bank in Rio de Janeiro. She appeared to have a corpse with her as she
attempted to secure some financing for a $3,400 loan.
The video is quite eerie as she tried to force him to sign
paperwork with his limp hand. She was seen talking to her dead uncle at various
points, asking him if he could hear her and if he was listening, instructing
him to sign even though he was clearly not talking back. The woman also
attempts to hold his head straight as it constantly tilts and falls back.
Employees at the bank weren't convinced, ultimately calling
in the police who arrested Erika. Authorities confirmed the victim's name was Paulo
Roberto Braga, and he was dead for hours before
being wheeled into the bank on Tuesday, April 16.
Erika may be charged with theft through fraud, embezzlement,
as well as abuse of a corpse and cops are trying to determine how he died and
if other family members were involved.
