Adélio's sister claims she received a cash offer after giving an interview to TV 247 (video)

247 Housewife Maria das Graças Ramos de Oliveira, Adélio's sister, said she received an offer of money after her interview with TV 247 was published last December.

"A person came to my house, said he was a journalist and offered me money to give an interview," she commented. The man, who was alone in a white car, insisted, and she said she responded sharply. As the insistence did not cease, Maria das Graças' husband reportedly commented:

"Can't you see she doesn't want to?"

Maria das Graças made the revelation in an interview she gave to Joaquim de Carvalho last Friday in Montes Claros, where the reporter went to accompany her second virtual visit to Adélio, who is in the federal prison in Campo Grande, serving a security measure due to the Juiz de Fora episode in which Bolsonaro was hospitalized at the city's Santa Casa de Misericórdia to treat an injury.

Maria das Graças said she didn't ask the name of the person who offered her money, nor did she write down the car's license plate. "I was very nervous. My brother is not for sale," she stated.

Considered not criminally responsible due to mental illness, according to a psychiatric report, Adélio has been in solitary confinement in prison for four and a half years.

After much insistence, the sister managed to make her first visit to her brother in December. It was only a twenty-minute conversation.

The prison scheduled the second visit for last Friday (March 3rd), but the virtual meeting did not take place because the Penitentiary Department (Depen), of the Ministry of Justice, did not send the code to enter the online room.

Maria das Graças returned home frustrated. "I'm not going to give up. I want what's best for my brother and to hear from him what happened there (Juiz de Fora)," she said.

Her struggle has not been easy. Since December, she has been trying to become Adélio's guardian, to definitively remove the lawyer Zanone Júnior, whom Maria das Graças' brother denounced because he believed he was not defending his interests.

The Court of Justice of Mato Grosso do Sul received the lawsuit after the court in Montes Claros declared itself incompetent, as it was not the appropriate forum. But so far, the Mato Grosso do Sul justice system has taken no action.

Zanone is no longer Adélio's lawyer, but federal judge Bruno Savino, from Juiz de Fora, appointed him as his procedural curator.

"He (Zanone) never sought out the family," said Maria das Graças.

Maria das Graças' interview is published in its entirety on TV 247. Watch the video below.
