Police in Tocantins, Brazil, have uncovered new cases involving Dalila dos Santos Silva, an accountant accused of defrauding small business owners in the region. Silva allegedly promised to facilitate loans and financing but instead appropriated the money paid by her victims for personal gain. With her previous actions resulting in significant financial losses for her clients, the investigations have now revealed two additional victims who lost R$ 26,000 and R$ 16,000, respectively.

Since January, Silva has been under preventive house arrest following a police operation named 'Cavalo de Troia.' The ongoing investigations have led to the conclusion of two new police inquiries against her, as additional allegations have arisen regarding her fraudulent activities. The chief delegate, José Lucas Melo, emphasized the seriousness of the situation, noting that the victims were led to believe in her fraudulent promises.

The defense team for Silva has stated that they will address the allegations in due course and have reiterated her innocence. However, as the investigation unfolds and more victims come forward, the implications for Silva could be severe, potentially leading to further legal repercussions and an emphasis on the need for greater oversight in the financial services sector for small businesses in Brazil.
