And they have since uncovered her hoard of 13 luxe houses worth 3 million Brazilian real (£406,000) and five cars, including two Audis and a Porsche. After his death, the Brazilian beauty told authorities the killing was likely a case of mistaken identity. But the fashion influencer has since been arrested for Ricardo’s shooting and the deaths of two former police officers. She was reportedly caught on her way home from her mother’s house where she allegedly hid a Glock pistol. The gun, buried in the garden, was later recovered by officers. Payments totalling more than 1.3 million Brazilian real (£178,000) were also discovered in Camila’s bank account. Military police said they had been investigating the gang for several years as part of Operation Ostentation, during which 39 weapons have been seized.

BIRTHDAY SLAYING According to reports, Ricardo was gunned down at the end of his son’s fourth birthday party in the city of Pinhais. Four armed suspects are said to have arrived in a silver Volkswagen Voyage and fired multiple shots at Ricardo, who died on the spot. Days later on the morning of November 10, two former cops were shot dead by gunmen in a silver Volkswagen Voyage – possibly the same one used in Ricardo’s shooting.
