WATCH: Brazilian woman pushes ‘dead’ uncle into bank to sign loan

In a shocking incident in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a 42-year-old woman named Nunes allegedly took her late uncle, 68-year-old Paulo Roberto Braga, to a bank apply for a loan.

Bank employees became suspicious of Braga’s unusual appearance and began recording, capturing Nunez trying to put the pen between his fingers. The bank contacted emergency services, who confirmed Braga’s death. Nunez now faces charges of theft by deception and abuse of a corpse.

An investigation is ongoing to determine the relationship between the two men and the circumstances of Braga’s death. The incident sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with some expressing sympathy and others criticizing Brazil’s political landscape and ethics.
