Gusttavo Lima: Prosecutor's Office tells court there is a lack of evidence of money laundering in the sertanejo singer's case.

The Public Prosecutor's Office of Pernambuco stated in a new opinion sent to the court that it sees no evidence of money laundering in the case of singer Gusttavo Lima, who is being investigated by the state's Civil Police in Operation Integration. Five prosecutors who are part of the Special Action Group against Organized Crime (Gaeco) signed the document, according to g1.

The sale of an aircraft to Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, owner of Esportes da Sorte, and the subsequent negotiation of the same plane with the couple José André da Rocha Neto and Aislla Sabrina Truta Henriques da Rocha, owners of Vai de Bet, is what led to the investigation against the country singer.

“The fact that the date of the electronic signature of the termination does not coincide with the date entered, in addition to the circumstance that the same aircraft was subsequently sold, 7 (seven) months later, to the company JMJ Participações Ltda., owned by José André da Rocha – (…) do not indicate illegality constituting the crime of money laundering”, says the text from the MP to which g1 had access.

The Public Prosecutor's Office further states that the case should be reviewed not by the Pernambuco courts, but by the Paraíba courts. This is because the payments under review only involve Vai de Bet, a company based in the neighboring state.

According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Pernambuco police themselves acknowledge that the amounts of R$4,9 million and R$4,8 million came from the company HSF Entretenimento e Promoção de Eventos Eireli (Esportes da Sorte). The transfer was made during the purchase of a Cessna Aircraft, model 560XLS, registration PR-TEM.
