Before being arrested this Tuesday, Lívia was interviewed by the police on Monday (12). According to information from Rede Record, during her testimony, she claimed that she no longer worked for the company responsible for the tickets.
In operation Carnaval Seguro, investigators requested Lívia’s temporary arrest, and the Court authorized it.
Lívia Moura has already been accused of carrying out other scams
This is not the first time that Lívia Moura has been accused of carrying out similar scams. In 2022, she had already been investigated for selling fake tickets to Rock in Rio.
At the time, the suspect was also arrested and remained at large. A poster with her photo was published by Disque Denúncia.
In fact, Léo Moura even took a stand at the time and said that he did not get involved or condone his sister’s actions.
Lívia has also been accused by Flamengo and Grêmio fans of selling fake tickets for football matches.
In 2017, midfielder Renato Augusto, who currently plays for Fluminense, went to the police station to report Léo Moura’s sister for a service not provided at a wedding.
R7 tries to locate the defendant’s defense. The space is open for manifestation.
