Brazilian influencer Malévola Alves pleaded for help after her arrest in Alexandria, Egypt, on Tuesday over alleged sexual gestures in social media videos, a detention confirmed by the country's Interior Ministry.
The arrest followed the circulation of footage featuring Alves and her friend, fellow Brazilian Bruna Mercatelli. Egyptian authorities alleged that the pair directed suggestive comments at people in the street and harassed passersby. Alves subsequently described police halting their van during a tour.
