Brazilian influencer detained after filming explicit videos on the streets of Egypt

Egyptian law enforcement authorities detained Brazilian social media star Malevola Alves and her companion in the city of Alexandria. The police intervention was prompted by acts of a sexual nature performed by the women in a public place, as well as instances of harassment towards others.

According to an official statement from Egypt's Ministry of the Interior, the detention was carried out after the inappropriate behavior of the blogger and her companion on the city streets was recorded. The ministry specified that the incident was filmed and posted on social media by the suspects.

During interrogation, the detainees admitted that the goal of creating the content was to increase view counts on their social media accounts. The Ministry classified the recorded actions as public sexual indecency and harassment.
