247 - Fifteen years after the death of Eloá Pimentel, Cíntia Pimentel, the young woman's sister-in-law, expressed her indignation towards Sonia Abrão. The outrage arose due to some recent statements by the presenter. The host of the program "A Tarde É Sua" stated that she does not regret interviewing Lindemberg Alves, Eloá's ex-boyfriend, during the kidnapping, and that she "would do it all again".s informaçoeThese are from the Na Telinha portal.
"Now, I want to speak not only as part of Eloá's family, but also as her mother. I don't know if my mother-in-law has heard this, but her statement causes a lot of pain. To say she would do it all again is cruel. I've come to the conclusion that, for some, the pursuit of media attention is worth more than another person's life. We believed she had regretted it, especially for her silence over these 15 years. I don't know if she will ever reflect more on the matter," Cíntia pointed out in an interview with Marie Claire.
In 2008, in the name of sensationalism and ratings, Sonia Abrão was accused of hindering police negotiations during the kidnapping, as she used the same phone line to interview the kidnapper and the victim herself while she was still in captivity. "Society has evolved in its thinking, but there is still much to improve in practice. I remember never having seen anything like the crime that happened to Eloá," continued the young woman's sister-in-law, who only met her husband two years after the tragedy.
