About this listen
Thirty shots concentrated in the genital area, arsenic on six occasions, and a phone that disappeared. On the night of June 16, 2019, pastor Anderson do Carmo fell in a garage in Rio de Janeiro while his wife, federal congresswoman Flordelis dos Santos, claimed to be in another room. What began as an attempted robbery transformed into the revelation of a poisoning and murder network that took two years to unravel.
In this episode, we explore the six documented arsenic poisonings falsely diagnosed as gastroenteritis, Flordelis's contradictory statement about the exact number of shots, and the secret notebook where she planned to destroy Anderson's cell phone. Justice accuses five children, a granddaughter, and the congresswoman herself of orchestrating the most elaborate homicide of Brazil's largest adoptive clan.
Victim: Anderson do Carmo
Date: June 16, 2019
Location: Pendotiba, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Status: Sentenced to 50 years and 28 days
- Thirty bullet impacts concentrated in the genital area and a close-range shot near the right ear rule out robbery hypotheses
- Six episodes of arsenic poisoning between May 2018 and June 2019 were misdiagnosed as gastroenteritis by doctors
- Flordelis initially did not know how many shots she heard; a week later, she stated exactly six, the number that matched her detained son's testimony
- Adoptions of 55 minors without documented legal processes allowed Flordelis to control 55 vulnerable individuals within a hermetic ecclesiastical structure
