A businesswoman’s habit of constantly posting on social media helped authorities in Brazil capture her drug lord husband after a two-year manhunt.
HOW RONALD ROLAND WAS CAUGHT
Ronald Roland, 50, was arrested last Tuesday at his condominium in the southeastern city of Guarujá after his wife, Andrezza de Lima, had previously shared one of their locations, TV Globo’s news magazine show Fantastico revealed.
Roland, de Lima and their daughter were sleeping when Federal Police raided their residence.
De Lima, who owns a bikini shop, often posted their travels to Colombia, Dubai, France and Maldives, appearing beside Roland on private jets and top tourist attractions.

The kingpin was among eight people arrested as part of an operation across seven states, with authorities seizing large amounts of cash, jewelry, weapons, a boat, 34 cars and an airplane.
Federal Police investigators alleged that he had contacts with drug cartels in Mexico and estimate he laundered $900 million over the last five years.
One of the 100 businesses that were used to launder cash was his wife’s bikini shop.
