A popular plastic surgeon has been arrested in connection to the murder of her lawyer husband in Brazil.
Police in the state of Sergipe said during a press conference Wednesday that Dr. Daniele Barreto orchestrated the October 18 attack that left her husband, José Rodrigues, dead and one of his sons wounded in the municipality of Aracaju.
The two were ambushed by gunmen while driving. Authorities said that Barreto had sent Rodrigues to buy acai at a nearby market and provided the location to the alleged killers.
Barreto was taken into custody at her home on Tuesday. Five other people were also apprehended in separate operations.
Barreto is a well-known plastic surgeon who operates her own clinic.
She has more than 143,000 followers on her Instagram account, where she has shared photos of her procedures.
A video released by the police Wednesday showed Barreto and her secretary talking to the suspects, who later dropped the pair off at a residence.
Footage of the ambush showed the suspects traveling in a car and a motorcycle as they followed a vehicle driven by Rodrigues' 20-year-old son.
One of the suspects behind the wheel of the car made a hand gesture at his two accomplices on the motorcycle, who sped up to the right side of the vehicle Rodrigues and opened fire.
One of the gunmen shot Rodrigues three times and his son once. The son was able to drive to a nearby hospital, where Rodrigues died several hours later.
Barreto and Rodrigues were married for over 10 years and had plans of to end their relationship, but were unable to do so due to financial problems.
Investigators learned that Rodrigues was envious of a friendship that Barreto had with another person and intercepted them outside the building where her clinic is located and argued with her.
Rodrigues' sister, Dr. Rosane Rodrigues, attended the police press conference and told reporters that her brother would have been surprised at learning that Barreto would have masterminded his murder.
'He was a wonderful person and he never crossed his mind that this could happen, and from inside his own home, that he would die in an ambush in his son's arms,' she said.
What was even more concerning to the sister was that Barreto skipped her husband's funeral.
'We heard that she went to the beauty salon. Soon after, she hired a cleaning company to remove his smell from the house and, when I went to the apartment to pick up clothes for my nephew, I came across the maid with suitcases with my brother's belongings that were going to be donated,' she revealed.
'She also rented a beach house and traveled, in other words, her behavior was not that of a widow.'

but the neighborhood he has known all of his life is no longer the place it once was
he describes a series of negative memories he has of the town
I would wake up at dawn to my parents crying out
and I'd get off the bunk bed to find that the water was already waist -high,” Santos recalls
“The concern was always to get the children out of the water and to try and salvage anything in the house
all that was left was praying to God that the rain would stop.”

Japãozinho has always been known for its high crime rate and its structural problems
such as open sewers and catastrophic flooding
the Municipality of Aracaju paved 27 streets in Japãozinho
and built a 170-meter-long canal and two 4,000 m2 flood banks
it was an investment in the urbanization of the neighborhood worth 17 million reais
The investment also included new LED lighting
a staircase on the neighborhood’s main hill and pedestrian walkways and accessible paths
The construction work that has transformed Japãozinho was made possible through the Administrative and Fiscal Management Support Program for Municipalities (PNAFM)
which was developed 20 years ago by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and is currently in its third phase
is helping municipalities like Aracaju modernize their fiscal management
thereby increasing their revenue and reducing unnecessary expenditures
That allows municipalities to have more resources to invest in improving public services and in infrastructure projects
the project supported updates to the property value register
which is used as the basis for determining property taxes
The project also led to updated management systems for tax collection and employee trainings
the project financed the implementation of a new payroll system
as well as an update of the registry of active civil servants to reduce undue or unnecessary payments
the PNAFM “has had a substantial impact on our tax collection and expenditure control
allowing us to have a better fiscal balance and making room for the municipality to access and make available other resources,” says Aracaju’s treasury secretary
52 municipalities in Brazil are taking part in the current phase PNAFM
A mid-term evaluation showed that the municipalities have experienced a significant increase in their per capita tax collection compared to a control group of municipalities with similar socioeconomic characteristics that did not participate in the program
the per capita collection of taxes on services and on property tax increased by 21% for the municipalities that were halfway through project execution and by 17% for those at 25% execution
carried out in tandem with the Department of the Treasury
is part of the Brazilian government’s efforts to support sustainable management of public accounts and promote macroeconomic stability
"The Department of the Treasury has a broad understanding of the country's main priorities
It supports the technical design aspects of the projects and carries out the monitoring
which provides support to the municipalities,” emphasizes Maria Cristina Mac Dowell
lead fiscal management specialist at the IDB
One of the most important elements of PNAFM is a network-like organization that unites mayors and executors
“The main achievement of the PNAFM is to combine – looking at each municipality
while connecting all of them in order to create synergy and share experiences and best practices,” says Mac Dowell
In addition to quarterly meetings to share data and actions
mayors and executors also exchange experiences among themselves – "both the good and the bad,” Mac Dowell notes
“The network formed by the executors is a key difference that sets the PNAFM apart
This exchange is essential not only to strengthen the program itself
but also the country's fiscal management,” she says
the Treasury’s general coordinator of cooperation programs and projects
says that PNAFM has helped mainstream responsible fiscal management at the municipal
The program is promoting greater fiscal autonomy for municipalities by helping them strengthen their own sources of revenue and management of public spending
reducing their dependence on transfers mandated by the Constitution and agreements with state governments
“Our concern is to improve revenue collection
to be fiscally fair and to have quality spending
This difference between improving revenue and reducing spending is what we call investment savings
The municipality can use this resource to make new investments and serve local society
jobs are created and the economy circulates
That’s what we want to provide for people,” he says
Palmeira estimates that these positive impacts have reached 30% of Brazilian society – the share of the population that lives in municipalities covered by PNAFM – and that the program’s benefits will extend into the future
Examples of this legacy are clear in Aracaju
A strategic planning program by the city government became feasible and the municipality gained improved access to programs and funding by the IDB and other institutions to finance the improvement of services offered to citizens and for infrastructure works
more than 1 billion reais have been invested in works and services that have significantly modernized the lives of the city’s population
“We were able to settle an inherited debt of 540 million reais in overdue salaries
We drew up a project to renovate 21 schools and build six more
one of which will be the first full-time school in the municipality
and have done construction in the Japãozinho and Rosa do Sol neighborhoods
We have also implemented various other urban mobility
health and leisure projects in the municipality,” notes Edvaldo Nogueira
From the perspective of the IDB’s representative in Brazil
these improvements in people’s quality of life through programs such as PNAFM are the main objective of the Bank’s involvement
specific and real benefits on people’s quality of life makes me very happy
Aracaju is a success story in many ways,” he says
as the population of the municipality is seeing the changes
they look forward to the stages of the program that are still to come
the panic-inducing floods and drownings are memories that are not exclusive to Aldo Lima Santos
The precarious state of the neighborhood has stuck in the minds of many residents
also lived in Japãozinho and was terrified when she saw her children playing near a ditch
Another seven-year-old boy also fell in and contracted a bacteria[l] infection,” she recalls
Stories about the neighborhood have new perspectives and settings
and the community can now welcome guests without feeling embarrassment or fear
They can even chat under the shade of an almond tree
something that was unthinkable only a few years ago
due to the excess mud accumulated on the ground
Santos smiles when he says that he can now host relatives
the first thing she did was come and visit my mother,” he recalls
not even about the elderly or the children
We can now go to the health center – even in pouring rain!"
There are streetlights illuminating the ground
the sound of approaching rain has become something pleasant

The arm-wrestle underscores Brazil’s bitter political rupture over a leader critics consider an abomination and supporters a corruption-busting champion
A giant image of Jair Bolsonaro stared down from billboards in the Brazilian town of Ourinhos
“We believe in God and we value the family,” its slogan proclaimed
local dissidents had taken spray cans to the hoardings
dousing Brazil’s nationalist leader with black paint and using their graffiti to declare him a fascist
Soon after, another billboard appeared, insisting Ourinhos “was not down with Bolsonaro” and denouncing his Covid-19 response by adapting one of the president’s most notorious phrases
alongside a cartoon of Brazil’s science-denying president with a face mask over his eyes
a battle of the billboards is raging between foes and followers of perhaps the most divisive president in the country’s history
In the northern city of Tocantins a bright orange advert was erected to demand Bolsonaro’s immediate impeachment. “Lazy sod. He’s not worth a half-eaten piece of fruit,” it read
In Aracaju, objectors from a teachers’ union put up purple billboards depicting Bolsonaro as the grim reaper and declaring: “Death cannot be allowed to govern Brazil”
View image in fullscreenBillboard in Maceió: ‘If you can, stay at home. Bolsonaro’s the only thing we want out.’ Photograph: Sinasefe SergipeIn Maceió, one billboard showed Bolsonaro’s head partially replaced with the coronavirus and bore the phrase: “If you can, stay at home. Bolsonaro’s the only thing we want out.”
In the capital, Brasília, renegade artists tampered with pro-Bolsonaro propaganda praising the president for “18 months without corruption”. The updated version thanked him sarcastically for “18 months without investigations” into his family’s allegedly corrupt affairs.
Read moreSome cities, such as Sete Lagoas in the eastern state of Minas Gerais, have seen face-offs between pro- and anti-Bolsonaro factions
Bolsonarista shopkeepers decked the streets with billboards declaring “Sete Lagoas supports Bolsonaro” and featuring Bolsonaro’s motto: “Brazil above everything
But within weeks a rival group had responded with a hoarding of its own. “Sete Lagoas supports the Rhea that bit Bolsonaro,” it read, in reference to the recent avian attack on Bolsonaro as he tried to feed the bird in the presidential garden
“We’re planning on putting more up [and] we’re thinking about even more creative messages for the next ones,” said one of the organizers
“If these Bolsonaristas think our protest has finished
The group fulfilled that promise with a billboard that asked Bolsonaro to explain a series of mysterious payments into his wife’s account
The arm-wrestle underscores Brazil’s bitter political rupture over a leader critics consider a historic abomination and supporters a corruption-busting champion of conservative values
Polls show 41% of Brazilians want Bolsonaro out of the presidency but 52% think he should stay
support for Bolsonaro has increased in recent weeks – apparently because of emergency payments being doled out to help Brazilians through the crisis

Photograph: Sinasefe SergipeEduardo Ferraro
a union leader behind the pro-Bolsonaro adverts in Ourinhos
claimed his president was doing a “sterling job”
“I was so disillusioned with Brazilian politics when I came across Bolsonaro,” he gushed
“He comes out with lots of nonsense because he’s so sincere but he’s made me proud of being Brazilian again … he’s the one keeping this country going,” Ferraro added
before reeling off a series of conspiracy theories about Covid-19 and a globalist plot to sabotage Bolsonaro’s rule
said the propaganda dogfight underlined how profoundly divided and politicized Bolsonaro’s Brazil now was
“These billboards are an expression of how politics has invaded people’s daily life to such an extent that they are using their own money to express their political opinions to their cities and their neighbours,” he said
“The political polarization we are seeing in Brazil has permeated society in such an intense fashion that people are expressing themselves politically even when it’s not election time … Politics is now everywhere.”

The Piranema field lies in the Sergipe / Alagoas basin off the coast of Aracaju in the state of Sergipe
It is operated by Petrobras using Sevan Marine’s SSP300 platform
With depths varying between 1,200m and 1,600m
the Piranema development consists of several small oil and gas accumulations discovered by wells SES-142
This gives recoverable oil volumes of 76 million barrels
The oil density is between 41° and 43° API
Production from the field began in October 2007
Petrobras announced it would a conduct major exploratory drilling campaign in the Sergipe / Alagoas basin after the preliminary estimations indicated the presence of light oil
The most characteristic aspect of the Piranema development is the production system – a novel cylindrical FPSO
The cylindrical design provides improved motions
higher stability reserves ae higher deck load capacity than conventional units
Called the Sevan Stabilised Platform (SSP) or the Sevan Piranema
the FPSO was chartered to Petrobras in 2005 for 11 years with a five-year option
The Sevan Piranema is the world’s first cylinder-shaped FPSO and is based on Sevan’s patented technology
the Norwegian Institution for Export Financing
provided $60m for the construction of the FPSO
which is installed in a water depth of 1,100m
The FPSO is interconnected to three production wells and three gas injecting wells
The hull and accommodation block was constructed in the Yantai CIMC Raffles Shipyard in China and skidded out onto the dry tow vessel Kang Sheng Kou
It was taken in a 35-day tow to the Keppel Verolme Shipyard in Rotterdam
for the topsides facilities to be installed on the hull
pre-assembling and installation of process skids
there was also the fabrication and installation of steel structures and the hook-up of marine systems including cranes and an offloading station
The Sevan Piranema project received spares and associated equipment from Norwegian exporters Norsafe
Piranema SSP is designed for use in ultra-deep water
The FPSO has an oil storage capacity of 300,000 barrels and is equipped with an oil process capacity of 30,000bpd and a gas compression capacity of 3.6 million cubic metres a day
It has a diameter of 64.3m and can accommodate approximately 60 employees
Sevan Piranema arrived on location in June 2007 where it was attached to the mooring system
