A flurry of shots woke up most of the home of 59-year-old missionary, gospel singer and federal deputy Flordelis dos Santos, in the early morning hours of Rua Cruzeiro, where more than 30 people normally slept. Accustomed to resting under the sound of the fighting in the vicinity of Pendotiba, in Niterói, the rest of the residents only woke up even with the following screams and haste.
Lying on the garage floor and shot and wounded, was Pastor Anderson do Carmo de Souza, 42, husband, house manager, and main mentor to Flordelis’ artistic and political career. It was 3:30 am on June 16, 2019. That was when the investigation began. The victim’s stepson, Flávio dos Santos Rodrigues, 39, was detained as executor while he was still at the wake. At least eight other members of the family reportedly participated in the crime. Among the defendants, only the main alleged is at liberty: Flordelis, who has benefited from parliamentary immunity. She claims to be innocent.
HE Status he had access to the final report of the Civil Police, two complaints offered by the Prosecutor’s Office, as well as statements attached to the file. The story told in the documents contradicts the story of a good pastor of the federal deputy and suggests a non-Christian plot, involving a dispute over money, political interests and even suspicions of sexual abuse.
With oratory to cause envy, Pastor Anderson do Carmo led the services with good humor. During the preaching, he alternated readings of verses from the Bible with episodes from his own biography. One of the most explored passages was his love story with Flordelis.
According to her account, the two met in a church in the Jacarezinho favela, in the north of Rio, in 1991, at which time she had already begun to pick up abandoned youth.
At the beginning of the relationship, Anderson was a 15-year-old teenager and began leading a youth group in the Assembly of God. In turn, Flordelis sang and played guitar in services and declared that he had already preached even at the door of a funk dance. Just separated from her first husband, she was twice his age: 31. At that time, the missionary already took care of at least five children collected, in addition to three biological children – Flávio and Adriano dos Santos Rodrigues, and a girl, Simone, Xodó and her right hand.
At that time, he moved in with Flordelis. In a two-bedroom house, living room and kitchen in Jacarezinho, babies, children and adolescents were squeezed out of what she says she rescued from traffic or the sidewalks of Rio. Poor and numerous, the family depended on donations to survive.
Anderson and Flordelis were married in 1998. Among the missionary’s biological children, adopted and socio-affective (those who never regularized their situation in court), they would have created a total of 55 young people, many of them with moving stories. In the house, there was a newborn abandoned in the garbage dump to former members of criminal factions and survivors of the Central Brazil massacre. Over time, Flordelis also began to collect newspaper appearances and problems with the Childhood Stick. To escape justice, he would have jumped from house to house and fell asleep on the street.
The move
Rejected by the “Spiritist parents”, Pastor Luan dos Santos was 15 years old when he was received. Flordelis reportedly took the family out “evangelizing” at night, roaming the city and delivering supplies to the homeless. Over the years, evangelism became Flordelis Ministry, the family church, based in Mutondo. In times of famine, everyone had a role in the house and teenage siblings needed to care for the little ones. Part of them, for example, bathed minors. Some took it upon themselves to collect donations on the streets and at fairs. Others organized the meal. Children were also posted to talk about their mother with anyone who would stop to listen.
Although he was the same age as some children, Anderson established himself as a house and church administrator. Intelligent and well articulated, he would be “the mind behind” the transformation of Flordelis into a kind of “brand”. 2009 is a decisive year for the couple’s economic boom. In October, the movie Flordelis: One Word to Change is enough, full of global actors who forfeited fees to portray the life of the missionary. In it, Anderson is the producer.
It was at this time that Flordelis signed a contract with MK Music, one of the greatest in the gospel universe, initiating a routine of invitations to concerts and large events. On the rise, the family church began to open branches, such as in Jardim Catarina, Itaboraí, Itaipuaçú, Pendotiba and Piratininga. At the beginning of the decade, the couple managed to buy a spacious house in a condominium in Pendotiba, Niterói. It was there that Anderson was executed.
An adopted daughter informed the police that “from the moment the economic situation began to improve”, the fights between her adoptive mother and her father began at the same rate. “The mother believed that she was responsible for improving the economic situation of the family, because everything revolved around her name, and not that of her father, although he was her mentor,” says the survey.
With suspicions of the crime falling on Flordelis, the church was eventually renamed the Evangelical Community Cidade do Fogo. With the complaint from the Public Ministry, offered last month, the missionary lost her contract with MK Music.
Investigation reveals privileges among children and suspicions of abuse
The police investigation raised a series of episodes in a different version. Contrary to known history, Anderson began going to the Flordelis home in the 1990s because he was dating Simone, the missionary’s biological daughter, a relationship that was later changed by her mother.
“Flordelis went to Anderson’s mother’s house and asked permission to take him to pray on the mountain,” describes lawyer Ângelo Máximo, who represents the pastor’s family. His mother, Maria Edna do Carmo, died at the age of 65, the victim of a heart attack, ten months after her son. One of the first to accuse Flordelis of having killed her husband, Sister Michele do Carmo de Souza, 39, had died of anemia shortly before, in October. “They left without seeing justice.”
The statements are common reports that Flordelis and Anderson acted to distance adopted children from birth families. One of the prosecution witnesses, Luan Santos, for example, claims that he has been “brainwashed”. “When she got married in 2008, Anderson forbade her from inviting her biological parents,” she reports in the process.
Many also disagree with the claim that the house was an environment of solidarity. According to witnesses, Flordelis would distinguish between children and prioritize the so-called “first generation”, that is, the biological and the first to be adopted. The group was entitled to a separate pantry, while the rest were restricted to the “public refrigerator” and got better gifts and more money.
Anderson is described as “rigid” and “ambitious” and accused of “centralizing money” and causing a crisis in the family.
In the investigation there is also a statement from a former member of the ‘Flordelis Ministry’, according to which people from the church performed “dark rituals” and there were “sexual practices among its members.” The testimony was reportedly confirmed by a former preacher, who said he had never witnessed theological studies at home. “It is a sect with the appearance of a religious congregation … it has nothing to do with the writings of the Bible.”
One of the adopted children claimed to have undergone a kind of “initiation”: he was allegedly locked in a room for days, receiving only one visit from Flordelis to have sex. There is also a report that a daughter was offered to foreign shepherds; The Civil Police consider that they do not have sufficient evidence to conclude whether sexual abuse was committed.
Even so, the information about the possible intimacies of the couple ended up in the investigation report. Status had access. There is a suspicion that Anderson and Flordelis went to a drinking house in Botafogo, the capital’s upscale neighborhood, at dawn. The deputy denies it. His version, however, would not impact with the traffic monitoring data collected by the police. The information is from the newspaper The State of S. Paulo.
