As mentioned, shAy was convicted of fraud related to an online store she ran from 2013 to 2017. More than 100 customers claimed they never received the products they had purchased or a refund from the store.

The São Paulo court has decided to reduce shAy’s sentence to 3 years and nine months. In addition, instead of going to prison, the 30-year-old influencer will only have to perform community service in her country.

After reviewing her case again, the Brazilian court found different mistakes during the first trial. In addition to fraud, shAy was also found guilty of participating in a criminal gang.

According to the MP’s complaint, the criminal association was headed by Renato Silva Savoia, then shAy’s partner. Silva led the group, founded more than 35 companies, and was convicted for registering some of these companies in his name.
