A flashy influencer has his Porsche seized after allegedly driving the wrong way down the road.

Maykon dos Santos Pereira, who boasts 737,000 Instagram followers, had his luxury motor confiscated on Tuesday (2 Dec).

Stunned traffic inspectors watched as Dos Santos, 28, and his friend drove the wrong way down the road in a city centre, according to local reports.

He was behind the wheel of a white Porsche.
Pal Wanderson Paulo da Silva was driving a Chevrolet Camaro – which was also impounded.

As they passed the inspectors, they allegedly accelerated as they apparently raced each other.

They were tracked down in Peruíbe, Brazil.

They were also slapped with on-the-spot fines of up to BRL 2,934.70 (£469) for “dangerous manoeuvring, through abrupt acceleration.”

Shortly after his gleaming-white convertible was taken away, the tattooed influencer took to social media to write: “Envy is tough.”

He said: “I suffered injustice in Peruíbe, tomorrow I’ll explain everything. But, God’s justice never fails.”

Dos Santos, who has a glamorous partner and two boys, writes “From the slums, to the world” in his Instagram bio.

He often shares snaps and clips of himself driving high-end cars around Brazil’s gritty favelas.

He appears to lead a life of luxury, travelling all around the world, but it is unclear how he made his fortune.

Several of his posts appear to show him committing other driving offences.

One clip shows him towing two motorbikes, a jet ski, and even a quad bike behind his now-seized Porsche.

And another snap shows him performing a near-vertical wheelie on a chunky motorcycle.
