The cause, which was initially investigated as an alleged suicide attempt, took a turn in the last hours as a result of the accusation that Sofía made against Lemos after recovering and remembering what happened after several weeks. After that, the rapper nicknamed “Over” or “Drunk” was arrested on Sunday and was investigated by prosecutor Lacki.
