A Brazilian woman was arrested for attempting to obtain a bank loan using the signature of a dead 68-year-old man.
The incident took place in Bangu, a surburb in Rio De Janeiro on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
Authorities said the woman, 42-year-old Érika de Souza Vieira Nunes, was seen on security camera footage wheeling 68-year-old Paulo Roberto Braga into the bank from a parking structure to try and use his identity to finalize documents in person for the loan.
According to police accounts reported on by Reuters, Nunes told a bank worker that her uncle wanted to take out a loan for the equivalent of about $3,250.
She was seen in video holding a pen and moving the man’s hand around with no response from the man.
According to reports, Nunes was witnessed saying, “Uncle are you listening? You need to sign.”
She reportedly told bank workers that he doesn’t speak much, and was heard saying she might take him to a hospital.
Bank workers became suspicious when the woman began talking into the ear of the pale limp man’s body.
The corpse was later taken to a morgue.
The woman’s lawyer argued that Braga died while at the bank, but police say he died before he arrived.
