His extensive financial relationship with these individuals, which includes suspicious movements, raises serious questions about his involvement in criminal activities. “The connection of your company to the money laundering network indicates an obligation that cannot be ignored,” the judge wrote, according to the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper.
According to the judge's order, the owner of the VaideBet betting site, Andre da Rocha Neto, and his wife Isla Rocha, used the plane in which they escaped, along with Gustavo Lima.
On the way, the plane picked up Nivaldo Lima and the couple investigated, following the route Goiania – Athens – Kavala.

These signs reinforce the seriousness of the situation and the need for a comprehensive investigation, demonstrating that Nivaldo Batista Lima’s complicity with the fugitives not only harms the integrity of the judicial system, but also perpetuates impunity in the context of serious crimes.”
