On July 17, 2006, Suzane von Richthofen, along with the Cravinhos brothers, was put on trial in São Paulo for ''homicídio qualificado'', the equivalent of First Degree Murder in Brazilian law. Suzane blamed Daniel for everything, while the Cravinhos brothers claimed to have acted on her wishes. Prosecutor Roberto Tardelli, however, called Suzane the "mastermind" of the crime and called for a 50 years sentence for each of the three defendants (at the time, however, Brazilian law limited any person's imprisonment to 30 years, even with a higher sentence). On July 22, Suzane and Daniel were both sentenced to 40 years in prison for the crime, while Christian got a sentence of 38 years for conspiracy. | On July 17, 2006, Suzane von Richthofen, along with the Cravinhos brothers, was put on trial in São Paulo for ''homicídio qualificado'', the equivalent of First Degree Murder in Brazilian law.
