Rio The civil police closed this Thursday (30) the investigation against the mother of Larissa Manoela for attacking with offensive terms the religion of André Luiz Frambach, the actress’s fiancé, who is a Kardecist spiritualist. The complaint was filed in August by the Rio Commission to Combat Religious Intolerance (CCIR) after a message exchange between Silvana Taques Elias Santos, 51, and her daughter was made public. The case was investigated by the Police Station for Racial Crimes and Intolerance Offenses (Decradi), which decided to charge Silvana with the crime of religious intolerance. The exchange of messages took place at Christmas 2022, when the actress wished a happy holiday and her mother responded with an insult and mockery of the actor’s family, with whom Larissa celebrated the date. “I forgot to wish you… May you have a merry Christmas with all the leaders of this Macumbeira family.”

At the time of writing the criminal report, the Commission to Combat Religious Intolerance claimed that Silvana’s message “exceeds the limits of freedom of expression and constitutes an insult, insult and promotion of intolerance and hatred against religions of African origin.”

The CCIR document also highlighted that religious crimes in Brazil have increased by 45% over the past two years and have most often targeted African cults, according to research by the National Network of AfroBrazilian Religions . According to the survey, 78% of representatives from 255 terreiros across Brazil said that individuals in their communities have already been subjected to some type of violence motivated by religious racism.

In a statement, Silvana Taques’ defense commented on the civilian police’s decision. “The investigative steps are not yet completed, especially those requested and necessary by the defense to investigate the leak and falsification of the alleged dialogues,” explained lawyer Maiko Roberto Maier of Silva e Silva Advogados of Florianópolis.

Understand the case

In an interview on TV Globo’s “Fantástico” program, Larissa Manoela revealed details about the family conflicts she has been facing recently. The young woman reported on the break in the partnership with her parents Silvana Taques and Gilberto Elias. The actress would have given up nine properties with a total estimated value of R$ 18 million, which were part of the two companies she had with her parents, as well as a house abroad in their name.

Currently, Larissa says she only has one house. “I have an apartment that I just sold to pay for the house I live in today. And I had to take out a loan to pay it off,” he told reporter Renata Capucci. According to the artist’s lawyer, Patrícia Proetti, the actress was denied a loan at the time of purchasing the property. “Because she didn’t have a banking job. She had no banking history that could have financed a real estate loan.”

Patrícia also stated that Larissa did not have her parents’ permission to use her money and credit cards without permission. “After she turned 18, credit cards were made available to her but she was not authorized to use them. So much so that if she wanted to buy a shoe she had to (…) and ask her father.” “I would then authorize it and even say which card I can buy. She had a life that her parents provided for her,” he said.

In response, Silvana gave an interview to journalist Chris Flores of SBT. In excerpts from the program “Domingo Legal” you can see how the mother rejects her daughter’s accusations. “She [Larissa Manoela] I always had a credit card with no limit. I had the password and access to this money. Do you really think that Lari wouldn’t have ten reais or whatever to buy some corn on the beach? Do you think the? “She could always buy anything she wanted, no matter the value, including a car, a handbag and shoes, which in my opinion are much more expensive than corn on the beach,” Silvana said.
