her deceased uncle's body to a bank in an attempt to obtain a loan of 17,000 Brazilian reais, equivalent to 3,215 US dollars.
According to the British newspaper "Daily Mail," a video of the woman was circulated on social media, captured by one of the bank employees, showing her asking her deceased uncle to sign the loan documents.
The woman lifted the head of the deceased man in front of the employees, who felt that something suspicious was happening. They treated him as if he were sick, not deceased, and informed her that if he was unwell, she could take him to the hospital.
The bank employees quickly summoned an ambulance and the police to the bank located in Rio de Janeiro. Paramedics confirmed that the 68-year-old man had passed away just a few hours before being brought to the bank.
The woman, who claimed to be her uncle's niece and his caregiver, was arrested. The police are still investigating the incident, suspecting it to be an organized fraud scheme.
