Record presenter Ana Hickmann, 40, revealed to Link Podcast, led by Celso Zucatelli, who is suing the hotel in Belo Horizonte (MG), where she was attacked by an armed man, who claimed to be her fan, in 2016. Na At that time, his sister-in-law Giovana Oliveira was shot and the aggressor was killed by his brother-in-law Gustavo Corrêa, who reacted to the attack.
“There are three processes that run in secrecy of justice against the hotel, which was negligent in many things”, said the presenter
Ana told Zucatelli that the assailant surrendered his brother-in-law just before entering the room. “He invaded, played Russian roulette with us. It was a horrible thing. It took 20 or so minutes of psychological torture,” he said.
The presenter described the aggressor as a sick person who needed help and no one noticed. “If someone ever told me this was going to happen they wouldn’t believe it,”
Ana also spoke of the difficult times that the family lived with the legal issues that arose after the attack. According to her, the family was the victim of the attack and the brother-in-law ended up in the dock for having reacted and killed the aggressor.
“Because when Gustavo sat there, he didn’t sit alone, Giovana and I were with him, there at that moment, the whole family, and that wasn’t fair. “Thank God we won and we proved it, we made it very clear what it happened that it was defense”.
Attack
Rodrigo Augusto de Pádua stayed at the Caesar Business hotel, a 4-star hotel in the Belvedere neighborhood, in the capital of Minas Gerais, where the presenter was also, in May 2016. Ana Hickmann had gone to Belo Horizonte to launch a clothing collection for her brand.
The man, armed with a .38 caliber revolver, surrendered Gustavo Corrêa (brother-in-law of the presenter, married at the time to Giovana) in the hallway to force him into the room where Ana Hickmann and her assistant were. Very agitated and speaking disconnected phrases, he forced the three of them to turn around, leaning against the wall, with their hands on their heads.
According to the PM, Gustavo refused to comply with the order. The sniper then fired twice at Giovana. The presenter’s brother-in-law reacted and got into a fight with Rodrigo. Ana Hickmann and her aide ran out of the room.
Gustavo told police that, during the fight, Rodrigo’s gun went off. The sniper died on the spot. After the fight, Gustavo went downstairs and handed the gun to reception. The police were called.
Born in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul (RS), Ana Hickmann moved to São Paulo at the age of 15, when she got her first contract with an agency and started to emerge in the market.
