Svmuu News: Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice (STJ) has rejected a request for release filed by Venezuelan national Mirelis Yoseline Diaz Zerpa, the wife of “Pharaoh of Bitcoin” Glaidson Acácio dos Santos, who is currently being held in preventive detention.Her legal team filed a petition for habeas corpus, citing, among other reasons, the prison’s failure to accommodate her “vegan diet” requirements. However, the court ruled that dietary preferences do not constitute grounds for unlawful detention, and that such adjustments may be handled at the administrative level by the prison system at its discretion. Judge Maria Marluce Caldas, presiding over the case, noted that dietary restrictions based on personal choice lack the legal standing to overturn the legality of detention. Consequently, she upheld the original ruling and directed the prison to make reasonable dietary arrangements to the extent possible.Case documents reveal that Mirelis had been on the run in the United States for nearly four years before being deported to Brazil due to visa issues and subsequently arrested. Prosecutors accuse him of leading a criminal organization and engaging in large-scale cryptocurrency transfers, in connection with investigations such as “Operation Kryptos.” The Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s Office (MPF) noted that during the investigation, it identified cryptocurrency transactions totaling approximately 20 million reais and traced related account activity in Florida, USA. The office believes she retains the ability to remotely manipulate funds, posing a high judicial risk. The case is currently under further review.(livecoins)
