Nova Mutum Influencer Targeted in Online Gambling Operation

Operation Double Game, launched this Tuesday (8), brought to light the involvement of a digital influencer from Nova Mutum in the paid promotion of clandestine online gambling platforms.

How the Investigation Uncovered the Case

According to the Nova Mutum Robbery and Theft Police Station, the suspect, identified as 30-year-old Pamela Cristiane da Silva, used her Instagram profile “Pam do Grau,” which has about 120,000 followers, to promote betting links that were not the same ones made available to the general public.

Incompatible Financial Activity

Between June 2025 and April 2026, the investigated individual's bank account received R$ 928,000, despite the influencer having no formal employment and declaring a monthly income of R$ 901. This disparity caught the attention of investigators, who began monitoring the transactions.

Deceptive Advertising Strategy

In the published videos, Pam do Grau displayed alleged betting winnings, always obtained through the exclusive link she used. Police state that this strategy misled followers into believing they could replicate the same results by depositing money on the promoted platforms.

Judicial Consequences and Seizures

The court authorized the breach of tax secrecy (2023-2026), the breach of digital secrecy for seized devices, and a home search and seizure. R$ 642,845.45 was seized, as well as vehicles valued at approximately R$ 400,000, including a jet ski, four motorcycles (Yamaha XT 660R, BMW G310, BMW R1250GS A, and Honda CG 160 Titan EX), a VW Jetta 2.0, two electric scooters, a small trailer, a jet ski trailer, a camera, two cell phones, and a drone. The investigated individual was also subjected to electronic ankle monitoring and had her Instagram profile suspended.

Guidance for Victims

Delegate Jean Paulo Ferreira advised Nova Mutum residents who have gambled on the investigated platforms to contact the local Derf (Robbery and Theft Police Station) to file a police report. Investigations are ongoing to identify other possible individuals involved and track the origin of the funds.
