Álvaro Jacomossi Júnior, a former international model aged 45, continues to be detained following a custody hearing in which police confirmed the temporary nature of his imprisonment. He was arrested in the upscale region of Barra da Lagoa, Florianópolis, where it’s alleged he was involved in supplying drugs to high-end parties. This arrest followed a previous incident in February where he evaded authorities by jumping out of a window at his guesthouse and hiding in the nearby woods after a search warrant was issued against him.

The police noted that Jacomossi's activities are being scrutinized by the Department of Criminal Investigations and the Anti-Drug Division (DECOD) in Florianópolis, which indicate that there are strong suspicions that he was supplying drugs in the eastern region of the city. The recent developments come on the heels of ongoing investigations and a previously issued arrest warrant that eventually led to his capture. The authorities are working diligently to gather more evidence against him, with the case emphasizing the serious nature of drug trafficking networks operating in urban areas.

Media outlets such as G1 are seeking to communicate with Jacomossi's legal representatives to understand the defense's perspective on these allegations. The implications of this case extend beyond the individual accused, as it highlights the ongoing challenges posed by organized drug trafficking in Brazil, especially in popular tourist areas like Florianópolis, which is known for its vibrant nightlife and tourism, yet faces serious crime issues.
