The Civil Police have charged a medium, who is also a leader of a spiritist center in Fortaleza, with fraud and abuse against an elderly couple, both over 80 years old and real estate entrepreneurs. The case came to light when three of the couple's four daughters reported that over R$ 5 million was missing from their parents' accounts, prompting an investigation by the Elderly Protection Department. The suspect is connected to the family, as he is married to the couple's other daughter, who has not participated in the denunciation.

The inquiry is ongoing, led by the Elderly Protection Department, which is specifically tasked with handling cases involving vulnerabilities associated with old age. The authorities, while keeping the identity of the suspect, whom they refer to as F.G., confidential, are focusing on collecting additional evidence requested by the Public Ministry of Ceará. This decision to withhold the suspect's name also aims to protect the privacy of the elderly victims.

The medium allegedly claimed to channel historical figures such as Napoleon and Tutankhamun, which raises questions about his practices and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals under the guise of spiritual guidance. This case highlights ongoing concerns about the intersection of spiritualism and fraud, particularly how individuals may prey on those who are less able to defend themselves, like the elderly, during times of distress or uncertainty.
