Bruna Da Silveira, a 26-year-old Brazilian woman (one report says 25), is alleged to have helped run a brothel-keeping criminal organisation across Dublin that involved nearly 30 young Brazilian women, who were identified by gardaí. Gardaí, Europol and Interpol investigated, and Da Silveira and three other defendants were arrested after an operation; gardaí found her alone at 22 O'Reilly's Avenue, Dublin 8 on 3 September 2025. She pleaded guilty on 13 July to participating in the activities of a criminal organisation between 10 July 2024 and 9 September 2025. On 31 July 2026 Judge Elma Sheahan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court sentenced her to three years in jail, with the final six months suspended, after the sentencing hearing had been adjourned during a solicitors' protest.
