She also participated in protests in defense of Operation Lava Jato and in support of the Brazilian Federal Police. In that time, she wrote a book about the Brazilian judge Sérgio Moro, responsible for the Lava Jato trial in Curitiba.
In 2017, the ePoliticSchool Institute (ePS) pointed to Hasselmann as the most influential and notorious personalities of social networks within the political theme. She won the "Troféu Influenciadores Digitais" prize from Negócios da Comunicação magazine in 2017 and 2018, by popular vote and technical vote. In April 2018, she officially joined the Social Liberal Party and announced her preliminary candidacy to the Brazilian Senate representing the State of São Paulo.
