Biography

Daughter of Solange Bezerra, she was born on November 1, 1987 in Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco. She has two sisters, Dayanne and Daniele Bezerra. She was abandoned by her father at the age of two. [7] During childhood, her family moved to São Paulo. [8] At just 16 years old, she adopted her first child, Gilliard, an adoption that was only made official in 2022. She had her second child, her first biological child, Kayky, during her first year of law school, [9] completed in 2021 [10] at Universidade Cidade de São Paulo, [11] during a two-year relationship. [12] She had her third daughter, Valentina, during her second relationship, which lasted eight years. [13]

She was registered with the Order of Attorneys of Brazil on April 25, 2014, [14] and specialized in criminal law at the Federal University of Pernambuco. [15] [16]

In July 2022, she was subject to a search and seizure warrant following a decision by the Public Ministry on suspicion of criminal association and money laundering. [17]

In February 2024, she began to be investigated by the Rio de Janeiro State Civil Police on suspicion of involvement with criminal factions, having already been accused of advocating for the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). [18]

In September 2024, she was arrested during Operation "Integration," conducted by the Pernambuco Civil Police, which investigates a criminal organization involved in money laundering and illegal gambling.  In addition to Deolane, her mother, Solange Bezerra, was also detained, and 17 other arrest warrants were executed in different states. The operation resulted in the seizure of assets, including luxury cars, real estate, and aircraft, and the blocking of financial assets worth R$2.1 billion (Brazilian Reais). [19] Her mother was also arrested and is being investigated for involvement in drug trafficking. [20]

The investigation revealed suspicious financial movements in accounts linked to the Bezerra family, including large transfers to the account of Kayky Bezerra, Deolane's son. Solange Bezerra, the influencer's mother, was accused of carrying out these transactions, raising suspicions that the account was used for money laundering. [21]

The lawyer was released through a writ of habeas corpus due to having a daughter that was under the age of twelve, [22] but was subsequently detained again for violating the conditional release terms. [23]

Even under investigation, the digital influencer and lawyer continued to deny any wrongdoing. Her defense claimed persecution and abuse of authority in the actions against her and her family. [24]

On the evening of September 23, 2024, the Pernambuco Court of Justice (TJPE) ordered the release of 17 suspects arrested, including influencer Deolane Bezerra, her mother Solange Bezerra, and the owner of Esportes da Sorte, Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, as part of Operation Integration. [25] On the afternoon of the following day, Deolane left the Buíque Women's Penal Colony in the Pernambuco countryside, where she had been imprisoned since September 10. On the afternoon of September 25, influencer Deolane Bezerra arrived in the state capital of São Paulo. [26]
