Woman Caught Wheeling Her Dead Uncle Into Bank In Shocking Loan Fraud Scheme

Shocking Incident: Woman Attempts to Use Deceased Uncle to Secure Loan

In a disturbing event that has captured nationwide attention, a woman was caught on camera attempting to use her deceased uncle to sign for a bank loan. This unusual case unfolded at a Rio de Janeiro branch of Itau Bank.

Captured in a viral video, the woman can be seen propping up her 68-year-old uncle, Paulo Roberto Braga, in a wheelchair, repeatedly urging him to sign the loan documents. Despite her efforts, it was evident that Braga was unresponsive, with limp arms and a head that kept falling, raising immediate suspicion among the bank staff.

This desperate act quickly took a turn when bank employees, concerned by the unnatural scenario, called emergency services. Upon their arrival, medical personnel confirmed that the man had indeed passed away hours before the bank visit.

Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances of Braga’s death and the woman’s alarming attempt to commit fraud. The woman, who claimed to be Braga’s niece, was seeking a loan of approximately 17,000 reais ($3,250), which had been pre-approved based on her uncle’s credentials.

As the investigation continues, this case serves as a stark reminder of the lengths to which individuals might go under financial pressure, and it underscores the importance of vigilance in financial institutions.
