Prime Video’s Tremembé series recalls some real-life moments involving notorious Brazilian criminals. The piece, which narrates the events inside the place known as the “Prison of Celebrities,” revealed that Elise Matsunaga continued to receive money related to her marriage to Marcos Matsunaga even after she was convicted of his death.
However, as revealed in Ulises Campbell’s Elise Matsunaga: The Woman Who Chopped Her Husband (The Matrix Edition), which served as the inspiration for this series, the money is not her inheritance, as Elise has been disinherited.
Marcos and Elise were married in partial community of property. Therefore, she was entitled to keep half of the assets acquired during the marriage. However, the perpetrator received the amount even after he was disinherited.

She is entitled to 900,000 reais, an amount she received from a $1 million wine cellar the couple acquired during their marriage, but as Ulisses explains in her book, it is not an inheritance.

Tremenbe: How Elise Matsunaga’s daughter found out her mother had mutilated her father
Elise was able to receive that amount because it was part of the stock price, not an inheritance, and was verified by the partial community of assets system the couple had adopted during their marriage. Therefore, she was entitled to the property acquired during the marriage, even if it was purchased or controlled by Marcos during their cohabitation.
Marcos’ inheritance went to the former couple’s daughter, who was raised by her paternal grandparents. This value is one of the reasons why Elise’s name is being fought in court to be removed from her daughter’s birth certificate.
Marcos’ parents believe Elise killed him for financial gain and are now concerned that their child will become a target for criminals. “If she killed him for money, the child who inherited everything would also be a target,” UOL’s Ulisses Campbell claimed in a 2021 interview with Universa.
