Ronald Roland, 50, was caught and arrested by the Federal Police in Guarujá (São Paulo) on Tuesday, July 2, after two years on the run. What betrayed him was the desire for showiness of his second wife, who often shares on Instagram her husband’s private jet trips and her travels from Dubai to the Maldives, via Colombia and France. The police launched an offensive in seven states to capture Ronald Roland, seizing money, jewelry, weapons, 34 cars, a boat and two planes. He was also handcuffed, along with eight other people.
This is not the first time the 50-year-old man has ended up being handcuffed due to his wife’s social “immorality.” He was caught in 2019 after being placed on Interpol’s red list, after his first wife posted on social media their whereabouts in the Eastern Zone of São Paulo. At the time, the drug trafficker had undergone facial plastic surgery. It’s a recurring nightmare for Roland, who has been arrested twice in the same way.
