Carlinhos Maia found the jewelry and watch stolen from his home in Cruz das Almas, Maceió, in May this year. “Fantástico” had access to the testimony in which Eliabio Custódio Nepomuceno admitted to being the author of the crime. “I was the one who committed the crime, along with two of my friends,” he said.
The thieves managed to enter the building, pass through the security system and reach the property without anyone noticing. It took two months for the crime to be solved.
Carlinho’s Maia thief explains how he planned the theft
According to Eliabio Custódio, he learned from the internet that the apartment would be empty because Carlinhos Maia was hospitalized for plastic surgery to remove the sagging abdomen, known as Lipo HD Renuvion. Lucas Guimarães, the influencer’s husband, was away on business.
“I have already followed Mr Carlinhos’ life through his social network. From what he posted, all right, I saw that I could have a chance there,” he explained.
The criminal searched the neighborhood before entering the building, accompanied by a thief and a third person who was waiting in the car police are still trying to locate the other two. The gang returned to Campina Grande, but when the safe was broken into, while still in the vehicle, a surprise: they weren’t the watches he expected.
Only after reactions in the press did Eliabio learn that the objects found were worth 2.5 million. “I’ve never bought a watch at this price and I don’t know anyone who would buy one at this price,” he revealed.
