Singer Kauan Mariz de Oliveira, 31, better known as MC Kauan, was arrested for drug trafficking this Tuesday (23), in São Vicente, a coastal city in São Paulo. As he was led away by the police, he smiled and claimed to be innocent.
“Another innocent being arrested,” said TV Tribuna, a broadcaster affiliated with Rede Globo, which filmed the arrest. According to the G1, the musician should serve a sentence of two years and four months in prison, in a closed regime. He had been convicted in the year 2019.
On its official Instagram profile, Produções e Eventos Nalva Mariz published a note reaffirming the singer’s innocence. “Unfortunately on today’s date, MC Kauan ended up being taken to the police district, due to the fulfillment of an arrest warrant for serving his sentence in a semi-open regime”, begins the text.
“We also inform you that this is an injustice, because as everyone knows, MC Kauan has always worked, has always been dedicated to music, has never been involved in any criminal activity. We will not rest until the truth comes out and he finally manages to prove his innocence, as we tirelessly believe in Brazilian justice”, completes the note.
Also known as Koringa, the ostentation funk artist has the song “Mestre das Fugas” as one of his biggest hits. The song talks about a police chase. The singer was already arrested in 2014 for drug possession, after being approached by the police also in São Vicente.
