Overview

• Daniela Marys de Oliveira, 35, is scheduled to be tried on October 23 on drug-related charges after seven months in custody at Banteay Meanchey Provincial Prison.
• Relatives say she was enticed by a telemarketing job, pressured to run online scams, refused to participate, and then had drugs planted before her arrest, with a requested toxicology test reportedly denied.
• Her family and local reporting describe severe overcrowding and medical delays at the facility, with rights groups citing deaths, past flooding and prisons operating well above capacity.
• Criminals allegedly used her seized phone and laptop to extort the family for about R$27,000, with direct contact reportedly restored only on March 29.
• Brazil’s Foreign Ministry says the embassy is providing consular support, a local NGO has secured a lawyer for the case, and relatives have launched a fundraiser seeking roughly R$60,000 for legal fees and essentials.
