A digital influencer had several cars seized by police in Campinas, SP, after being reported for driving at a reckless speed of 283 km/h.

A digital influencer was involved in a police operation in Campinas, São Paulo, where several vehicles owned by him were seized following an inappropriate speed violation. On the morning of the operation, the police executed warrants related to suspected traffic crimes as well as tampering with license plates and promoting illegal activities. The influencer, known for dangerous driving videos, previously received a fine for driving at an alarming speed of 283 km/h on a highway, which raises concerns about public safety and legal accountability.

The police seized a total of seven vehicles from locations connected to the influencer, including his company premises. These vehicles are set to be examined for any modifications that could enhance performance beyond legal limits.
