Employees of the bank branch, which is in Bangu, were suspicious of the action of the woman - who says she is the niece of the corpse - and called the police.

A woman was taken to the police station on the afternoon of Tuesday (16), after taking a corpse in a wheelchair to try to make a loan of R$ 17,000 at a bank branch in Bangu, in the West Zone of Rio.

Bank employees suspected the attitude of Érika de Souza Vieira Nunes and called the police. Samu went to the scene and found that the man, identified as Paulo Roberto Braga, 68, was dead - apparently there were a few hours. The police investigate how and exactly when he died.

At the police station, the woman said that her routine was to take care of her uncle, who was debilitated. The police investigate if she is really related to him.

A video, made by the bank attendants, shows that all the time she tried to keep the man's head straight, using her hand and talking to the supposed relative - who, of course, does not respond.
