The judge of the Court of Criminal Executions Marcello Rubioli made today (1) of no effect the arrest of former councilor and former civil police officer Jerônimo Guimarães FilhoJerominho, arrested last Thursday afternoon (27) by agents of the Interstate and Capture Police (Polinter), in compliance with an arrest warrant for the conviction of a crime committed in 2005, of extortion increased by the use of a firearm .
The 5th Prosecutor’s Office of the State Public Prosecutor’s Office next to the Criminal Executions Court informs that it manifested itself this Monday “in favor of the release of the convict Jerônimo Guimarães Filho, because he was in prison due to an arrest warrant arising from a sentence already served and extinct”. ”. According to the document, prosecutor Viviane Freitas accepted the defense’s argument that Jerominho has already served his sentence for the crime in question.
The former councilor’s lawyer, Marcelo Cavalieri, said the arrest is illegal and hopes that Jerominho will be released later today. “He will be released today. The judge has known since yesterday, but there is this procedural bureaucracy”.
In the decision, Judge Marcello Rubioli wrote that “this is a request for recognition of compliance with the sentence and recognition of the illegality of the prisoner’s imprisonment. That there would have been a material error. That the second sentence was issued in relation to the same process where the convict served time in a federal prison”.
