Businessman Thiago Brennand was arrested in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He has been on the run since the 27th after CCTV cameras caught model Helena Gomes being attacked at a gym in Sao Paulo.

The information was confirmed by Delegate Ivalda Aleixo of the Detention Unit of the Civil Police of São Paulo. The delegate stated that she is still in contact with the Brazilian embassy in the Middle Eastern country, as well as with Interpol, to carry out the process of bringing the businessman to Sao Paulo.

“I received information that he was detained yesterday at 21:00. All night I tried to find out more about the arrest, who arrested him, where he is and when he will be brought to Brazil. Since he stated that he was in Dubai, it became easier to find him. The police led there, but there was the participation of the Brazilian sector of Interpol,” Aleixu said.

There are no details yet on where and how Brennand was.

Brennand, who is also under investigation for alleged misdemeanors, injuries, stalking (online stalking), bodily harm and sexual offenses involving at least 16 victims, denied having a relationship with the model. “Where would I be interested in such a woman? I don’t even drink. A sober person can’t. Who does not see the level of this citizen,” he said in one of the videos.
