    After her arrest on August 22, police accused Ferreira of deceiving her 1.5 million followers by using her online channels to promote unregulated gambling sites by faking gambling wins.

    Police Chief Wanderson Queiroz stated Ferreira’s followers “believed she was playing and winning, when in fact the supposed prizes were mostly payments” from unlicensed gambling firms.
