<p>The underworld is a man’s world. So beware of the woman who climbs to the top of such a vicious environment. A woman like Valeska Pereira Monteiro. Just in her late twenties, she became a leading figure in a Brazilian drug cartel. Her position brought her wealth, power, and police heat.</p>
<p>Valeska Pereira Monteiro has a knack for crime. Her criminal record lists theft and drug trafficking. Authorities note her association with other criminals and see her as a leader among men. She was arrested for running a gang that robbed residential and commercial properties in Fortaleza in 2014.</p>

<p>With this power came money. A lot of it. She treated herself to a life of luxury filled with lavish vacations in expensive hotels and resorts. Her exorbitant lifestyle and stature within the underworld earned her the nickname “Majestade”, “Her Majesty”.</p>
<p>What a life.</p>

</ul>
<p>Until police found out about her work for a drug cartel operating out of Rio de Janeiro. She handled the group’s accounting. Authorities considered Monteiro the leader of the financial branch of a drug organization operating in the Brazilian state of Ceara. She also oversaw the distribution of territory for drug sales among the group’s members.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Queen on the run</strong></span></p>
<p>After her arrest, police underestimated her ferocity. Her position was probably exaggerated. What did this girl know? What could she do? They released her and gave her an ankle monitor.</p>

</ul>
<p>In April, Monteiro broke it and went on an extended vacation. Time to relax and unwind after all that work-related stress. Just what the doctor ordered.</p>
<p>She spent a month in Rio Grande do Norte and two months in Rio de Janeiro, staying at the high-priced Copacabana and Ipanema, before traveling on to Gramado. It was here that police were able to catch their innocent-looking fugitive on Monday, September 7, 2021.</p>
<p>At just 27, this young woman played an integral part in a large-scale criminal organization. To hell with stereotypes and glass ceilings! This woman wanted the world and took it.</p>
<p>Of course, her outlook is considerably less glamorous. Prison and death remain the two most common outcomes of a life in the criminal fast lane.</p>
