Deceased uncle used as Loan Guarantor; Woman Arrested in Brazil
In a head-scratching incident straight out of a bizarre dream, a woman in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, attempted a loan application so unorthodox that it would leave even the most seasoned banker speechless.
The world of finance can be a complex and unforgiving one, darlings. But even in this realm of careful calculations and risk assessments, some stories defy logic and leave us mindblown.
A Loan Application Fit for a Thriller (Not a Bank)
Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes waltzed into a bank branch with an “accessory” most wouldn’t consider for a loan application—her deceased uncle. Most of us wouldn’t dream of dragging a recently departed relative on errands, let alone securing a measly $3,200 loan.

Investigation ongoing
News reports paint a picture so peculiar that it deserves a documentary. A video recording shows Erika attempting a feat that would impress even a mortician—propping up her dearly departed relative like a particularly rigid mannequin. As if that wasn’t enough, she even tried to get the lifeless hand to sign the loan documents.
Needless to say, the bank employees weren’t exactly buying Erika’s charade. Her co-signer’s “unenthusiastic” demeanour raised some serious red flags. The authorities were promptly summoned, and Erika’s unconventional financial strategy came to a screeching halt.
Nunes now faces charges of attempted loan fraud and violating a corpse. Authorities are also investigating the cause and timeline of her uncle’s death, adding another layer of complexity to this already bizarre story.
