Overview
- Civil Police are treating the death of Miguel Abdalla Netto, 76, as suspicious, with forensic and toxicology tests pending and the body held at the Medical Legal Institute.
- Von Richthofen went to the 27th Police Station in Campo Belo to request release of her uncle’s remains, arguing close kinship, but investigators declined.
- After the refusal, she filed for an emergency judicial order seeking to overturn the decision and obtain custody of the body.
- A first-degree cousin, Sílvia Magnani, also attempted to secure release but was asked for formal proof of kinship and only identified the body at the IML.
- Authorities report no signs of forced entry; SAMU confirmed the death, the body was in advanced decomposition, and security footage last showed Miguel entering his home on January 7, as inheritance stakes of roughly R$5 million frame the family dispute.
