A cousin of Suzane von Richthofen filed a police report accusing her of unlawfully taking possession of goods from her late uncle, Miguel Abdalla Neto. The incident arises amid a dispute over an inheritance worth R$ 5 million. Suzane, convicted of murdering her parents, is on open regime and risks penalty regression.
Two weeks after São Paulo's Civil Police opened an investigation into a theft at the home of Miguel Abdalla Neto, found dead on January 9, 2026, in the city's south zone, his girlfriend and Suzane von Richthofen's cousin, Carmem Silvia Gonzalez Magnani, filed a police report on February 3. The document accuses Suzane of taking estate goods without judicial authorization, as she admitted in the inventory opened at Santo Amaro's Family and Successions Court.
Suzane, who welded the house gate to protect the items, claims to be the closest blood relative and thus the estate administrator. Carmem, who lived 14 years in a stable union with Abdalla Neto, disputes this. Listed goods include a 2021 silver Subaru car, a washing machine, a sofa, an armchair, and a bag with documents and money.
The 27th Police Station (Campo Belo) will continue the probe started on January 20. Since Suzane has been on open regime from January 2023, after a 2006 conviction to nearly 40 years for her parents' 2002 murder, she may return to semi-open or closed regime. Criminal lawyer Gustavo Henrique Moreno Barbosa notes that the STJ does not allow automatic regression without proof of authorship and materiality. "If compelling evidence is found, precautionary regression can occur," he states. For theft to be established, intent for illegal appropriation must be shown; otherwise, if goods were removed for preservation, no crime applies.
Abdalla Neto, brother of Marísia von Richthofen (Suzane's mother), tutored Andreas, Suzane's brother, after the 2002 crime. Police await IML reports to determine the doctor's cause of death.
