Sandrão Reappears on Record TV, Denies Ordering Teen’s Murder and Says He Now Identifies as a Man

The broadcast comes as Prime Video’s Tremembé revives scrutiny of cases, portrayals, credit.

Overview

  • In an exclusive Domingo Espetacular interview aired Nov. 16, Roberto Cabrini questioned Sandra Regina Ruiz Gomes, known as Sandrão, whose 2003 conviction stems from the kidnapping and death of a 14-year-old.
  • Sandrão rejected claims that he fired the shot, ordered the killing, or handed a weapon to a minor, calling those allegations lies.
  • He detailed a years-long, “intense” relationship with Suzane von Richthofen, said he felt used, and described fears about dating inmates convicted of violent crimes.
  • He downplayed a purported romance with Elize Matsunaga by characterizing the bond as friendship, despite accounts in books and the series.
  • The interview follows the breakout success of Prime Video’s Tremembé, as writer Ullisses Campbell says Suzane previously sued him and lost, and actress Letícia Rodrigues complains her portrayal of Sandrão has been overlooked in coverage.
