Figueiredo arrested for embezzlement, money laundering
Former IndyCar and recent IMSA driver Ana Beatriz, who has raced more recently as Bia Figueiredo, has been arrested in her native Brazil for the alleged embezzlement and money laundering of approximately $1.6 million. Figueiredo, who is expecting her first child in July, was arrested along with her husband and father-in-law from a complaint filed in Rio de Janeiro that details a scheme to bilk vast sums of money from the state to operate a number of hospitals.
