Owner of alleged home plastic surgery clinic deported
By Eduardo da Oliveira, Globe Correspondent
A Brazilian national who owned the Framingham home where police say a woman died during illegal plastic surgery has been deported, authorities said.
Ana Celia Sielemann, 40, who faced misdemeanor charges of possession and distribution of controlled substances, was detained by customs officials after being released on bail, said Lt. Paul Shastany, spokesman for the Framingham Police Department.
Paula Grenier, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Sielemann was deported to Brazil on Sept. 1 because of a deportation order issued against her in July 2001.
Middlesex County prosecutors have said Sielemann rented out her basement as a makeshift clinic for the surgeries and acted as an anesthesiologist.
A probable cause hearing is scheduled today in Framingham District Court for Brazilian doctor Luiz Carlos Ribeiro and his wife Ana Maria Miranda Ribeiro, both 49. They are being held on manslaughter charges in the death of 24-year-old Fabiola DePaula.
