Bank staffers became suspicious as the man was unable to support his head or hold a pen. They called the police, who arrested the woman and charged her with fraud.

A video shows the woman at the counter of a Rio de Janeiro branch of Itau Bank, propping up the head of an elderly man in a wheelchair and trying to get his hand to clasp a pen.

A Brazilian woman brought a 68-year-old man in a wheelchair into a bank branch and tried to get him to sign for a loan, but police said he had been dead for hours.

Police in Brazil say the woman brought her deceased uncle into a bank to try to finalize a loan process and make it appear he was signing documents.
