Former Faustão dancer bought luxury items and paid for trips with suspicious money, police say

Model and former Faustão dancer Natacha Horana, 33, bought luxury items and paid for trips with money from criminal organizations. This is what part of the investigation that requested his request for preventive detention that took place on the 14th in São Paulo says.

THE F5 had access to some documents from the case. According to judicial monitoring, transactions and expenses were identified in a short period of time, incompatible with Natacha’s professional reality.

Natacha would have received deposits from accounts of people linked to criminal organizations. With this money, she would have paid for trips to Europe and luxury destinations in Brazil, such as Trancoso, on the coast of Bahia.

The purchase of luxury items, such as watches and necklaces, was also identified. Some of these items were searched and seized at Natacha’s house, in the south of São Paulo, during her arrest.

In a statement, Natacha Horana’s defense denies any illegal involvement of the former dancer and says that her arrest was “abusive and unjustified”.

“Natacha was unfairly involved in an investigation only because, years ago, she ended up knowing one of the people being investigated. The arrest was a mistake because she never committed any illicit act, direct, indirect or collaborative”, says the statement.

The defense of the former Faustão dancer claimed to have filed an appeal asking for her freedom. The request is before the STF (Supreme Federal Court), but Minister Edson Fachin, in whose office the request ended up, has not yet ruled on the case. Meanwhile, Natacha remains in detention.

When contacted, the São Paulo Civil Police confirmed Natacha’s arrest by police officers from the Captures Department of the Department of Strategic Police Operations (Dope) with the support of agents from the Federal Revenue Service and the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Norte.

According to the note, four cell phones, a notebook, two cameras, two watches, a necklace, an external hard drive and several documents were seized. Additionally, agents located R$119,650 in cash.

A Mercedes-Benz C300 vehicle was also seized at the scene. “The captured woman claimed that the car was borrowed and the property awaits the presentation of the legal guardian”, says the Public Security Secretariat of SP. The case was registered as capture of a wanted person and execution of a search and seizure warrant.
