Woman Wheels Her Dead Uncle Into Bank In An
On Tuesday, April 16, a Brazilian woman reportedly wheeled an older man’s corpse into a Rio de Janeiro bank in an attempt to make him co-sign a loan document for her.
The bank customer, Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes, was seen on video standing next to the deceased, who was sitting in a wheelchair and appeared to be holding up his drooping head.
The video shows Nunes talking to the deceased man, whom she refers to as her “uncle,” and requesting him to sign financial documents that would allow her to obtain a $3,400 loan.
“Uncle, are you listening? You need to sign [the loan contract]. If you don’t sign, there’s no way, because I can’t sign for you,” Nunes says in the video, pushing a pen between his limp fingers and instructing him to hold it “hard.”
“Sign so you don’t give me any more headaches, I can’t take it anymore,” she adds.
When a bank employee points out that the man’s color is odd and appears “not well,” Nunes dismisses his worries.
“He is like that. He doesn’t say anything,” Nunes says. “Uncle, do you want to go to the [hospital] again?”
Bank employees promptly phoned the police, who arrived and detained Nunes.
It was later discovered that the victim, 68-year-old Paulo Roberto Braga, had been dead for several hours before he visited the bank.
“She tried to pretend to get him to sign the loan. He already entered the bank dead,” Police Chief Fábio Luiz told TV Globo. “The main thing is to continue the investigation to identify other family members, and find out more about this loan.”

Cops said they will investigate the circumstances surrounding Braga’s death to discover whether Nunes is his niece and whether additional relatives were engaged in the alleged bank fraud.
Nunes could be charged with theft by fraud or embezzlement, as well as abuse of a corpse.
