Jeff Machado confided in his mother, Maria das Dores Machado, 73, that his friend Bruno had been “very strange” just days before he disappeared. Bruno is one of the suspects involved in the actor’s death. The details of the motherson conversation have been revealed exclusively syringes.
“On January 15, I spoke to Jefferson. He said: ‘No, Bruno is very strange. I’m trying to talk to him because I have to do an MEI (Individual MicroEntrepreneur). He made an appointment and he did.’ “I did not come. I’d have to get on this soap opera right now,” he said.
The actor’s mother tried to reassure her son, although she was also suspicious of her friend Deke’s behavior. “I said, ‘Oh my son, sometimes they have a lot of work to do, but it’s going to be okay.’ I have never thought negatively about anything.
Jeff told Maria das Dores afterwards that he was “disheartened” by the lack of quid pro quo from Bruno, who had previously posed as a producer and promised the actor a role in a soap opera in exchange for money.
“That day he was already renting a house, he was already digging a hole, he was already preparing everything. Everything. My God! As the old folks used to say, ‘What a cold blood’. What a draft to have a human.” Such a bandit and still looking for defense.”
The artist’s mother claims Bruno tried to exclude her son as a witness. “When we made the police report here [Araranguá, Santa Catarina]my son [Diego Machado] have asked him [Bruno] make one. He then said that Jeff was depressed and bipolar […] so the police would think Jeff had a nervous breakdown.”

Maria das Dors says her son believed in his friend’s promises. “Jefferson did not see the evil side of this dream. He really believed he could do it, that he was a kind person.”
The artist’s mother recalls even making bank transfers to Bruno to help her son land a role in a soap opera. “Three, four times. Because it says you have to pay something to get in, you know, an agent there said he wasn’t Bruno, he was a Filipe.”
She also describes what she believes the crime scene was.: “When Jeff realized the person who was his friend, Bruno, was there to kill him. With a jar of poison, with a wire. What is that? And on TV he keeps saying that didn’t kill. So.” Who was it?”.
In a statement, Jeander Vinícius da Silva Braga, one of the suspects, said Bruno Jefferson doped with a substance in a juice. The three went to the victim’s room, who believed he was taking part in a sexual act for an adult content platform. Upon entering the compound, the drugged Jefferson was strangled with a telephone cord by Bruno. According to the police, Bruno and Jeander had known each other for a long time.
Splash sought the defense of Bruno, who sent a message: “Bruno’s version is that he didn’t kill. We hope that the investigation will be concluded soon and that the trial will prove that it was Marcelo who killed Jefferson and that Bruno was involved in the coverup.”

Maria das Dores Machado says she “has no more tears” to mourn the death of her son. “I’m out of breath. My feet feel like they’re not touching the ground. I have no more tears, do you believe that? I don’t know if it’s because of the medication they’re giving me, but I can.” “I’m not crying anymore. I feel pain, sadness, insecurity, uncertainty. Lord,” he says.
The actor’s mother is demanding justice and jail time for those responsible for the crime. “God’s justice never fails. I know the police work hard. Such a tragic situation cannot simply be forgotten. You have to catch the killers and force them to confess. You have to force her to confess and find out who did this evil.”
She also criticizes gaps in the judiciary: “In this world you have the right to everything, especially to evil.” […] It’s packed with benefits. Featured in a TV show. Where is the respect as a human being, the respect for the mother, the family, the brother? With the memory of my son?”
Maria das Dores believes that the law is often used to advantage criminals. “They legislate and I don’t know what else to acquit or at least stay acquitted. Ask the mothers in Brazil if they are okay with such a situation. It’s very easy when you’re not the father or mother, but it is.” My son is there. I ask for justice for my son. I ask for justice for my son.
What happened:

Jeff had been missing for four months. On January 27, the family began suspecting the disappearance, and on February 9, police reported him missing.
The remains were found in a suitcase that belonged to the actor. The body was found on May 22nd, buried and cemented in concrete at the bottom of a property in Campo Grande (RJ) where Jeff lived.
The suspects are Bruno de Souza Rodrigues and Jeander Vinícius da Silva Braga. Bruno was a friend of Jeff’s, promising the actor a role on the soap opera and even visiting the victim’s home after the death. According to the police, Bruno and Jeander had known each other for a long time.
The murder would have been premeditated: In his testimony, Jeander said that Bruno Jefferson doped with a substance in a juice. The three went to the victim’s room, who believed he was taking part in a sexual act for an adult content platform. According to the suspect, however, the crime was not recorded. As he entered the room, the drugged Jefferson was strangled with a telephone cord by Bruno.
Jeff thought he would take up acting in a soap opera after paying Bruno BRL 20,000 for a role in the production: The crime occurred three days before the date the victim believed she would start acting in a Globo soap opera.
The motivation for the crime may have been financial: Jefferson demanded the R$20,000 he paid for a role in a soap opera. In addition, Bruno feared that if Jeff exposed the suspect’s fraud, he would be disqualified as an influential person in the art world.
