The story of Margarida Bonetti, 63, heiress to a wealthy family in São Paulo and married to engineer Renê Bonetti, has drawn attention in recent weeks. She was on the FBI's wanted list accused of committing crimes in the United States, such as slavery-like labor and assault on her former maid. The couple was reported to the American police in the year 2000.

Renê was tried, convicted and imprisoned in the United States, where he served time, and was released. At the time of the trial, Margarida fled to Brazil, where she still lives in the mansion in Higienópolis. The crime has already expired, as Delegate Elisabete Sato explained live on the Brasil Urgente program.

The story of the woman and the mansion gained interest with the podcast “A Mulher da Casa Abandonada”, by journalist Chico Felitti, in Folha de S.Paulo, which went viral on social networks.
