Jonas de Oliveira, a 32-year-old man, has been arrested for assaulting a 26-year-old woman in an elevator at a residential building in São Vicente, located on the coast of São Paulo, Brazil. Following the assault, which occurred three days prior to his arrest, he sent threatening messages to the victim, who had previously obtained a protective order against him. The quick actions of the local police led to his apprehension when they found him in a relaxed state on a couch, despite his history of violent behavior.

During his arrest, authorities discovered R$ 13,000 in cash, along with various electronic devices including four cell phones and two card machines. Upon questioning, Oliveira admitted that these items were obtained through his involvement in the '0800 scam,' a fraudulent scheme typically involving tricking individuals into unknowingly aiding in theft or fraud. His confession linked him to numerous thefts, as he was also in possession of multiple bank cards and personal documents belonging to others at the time of his arrest.

This case serves as a critical reminder of the issues surrounding domestic violence and fraud in Brazil. The violent incident in the elevator highlights the dangers that victims face, even after taking legal measures for protection. Furthermore, the discovery of the fraud operation sheds light on the broader problem of financial crimes in the country, emphasizing the need for increased public awareness and law enforcement efforts to address both domestic violence and fraud concurrently.
