After the 3rd Criminal Court of Rio de Janeiro ordered the arrest of rapper Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno this Tuesday (3), the singer, known as Oruam, is considered a fugitive. 
The Civil Police reported that they tried to carry out the judicial arrest measure at the rapper’s home, but he was not there and has not yet been located.
Oruam is a defendant in a criminal action that investigates attempted qualified homicide and was free with the use of an electronic ankle bracelet for injunction force granted by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). However, the STJ itself withdrew the injunctionafter reports from the Electronic Monitoring Coordination of the Penitentiary Administration Secretariat (Seap) pointed out successive violations of court orders.
According to the records, the defendant failed to comply with nighttime home curfew on several dates and showed a recurring pattern of negligence with the electronic monitoring equipment, including long periods with the device turned off, totaling 22 incidents recorded between October and November 2025.
Anklet
According to Seap, Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno attended the Electronic Monitoring Center on December 9, 2025, when the equipment was changed. After attending and replacing the device, the removed ankle bracelet was sent to technical expertise, which found electronic damage, possibly resulting from high impact.
“The monitored person has been using an electronic ankle bracelet since September 30th of last year and, since November 1st, he began to present successive violations, totaling 66 incidents, 21 of which were serious in 2026 alone, most of them related to the lack of battery charging”, says Seap in a note.
The note also says that “the violations were formally communicated to the Judiciary, with monthly reports sent to the Third Criminal Court of the Rio Court of Justice. After the exchange, the new equipment again failed due to lack of charging, and since February 1st of this year it has remained unloaded”.
In view of the infractions, the Public Prosecutor’s Office requested the preventive detention of the accused. Although the court initially recognized the failure to comply with the precautionary measures, it failed to order the arrest at that time due to the STJ’s injunction being in force.
With the revocation of the preliminary decision, judge Tula Corrêa de Mello understood that “the alternative measures proved to be insufficient, determining the resumption of preventive detention to guarantee public order and the effectiveness of the criminal process”.
Indictment
Rapper Oruam is responsible for attempted qualified homicide against police chief Moyses Santana Gomes and officer Alexandre Alves Ferraz, both from the Civil Police of the State of Rio de Janeiro. In addition to Oruam, Willyam Matheus Vianna Rodrigues Vieira, Pablo Ricardo de Paula Silva de Morais and Victor Hugo Vieira dos Santos are defendants in the same case.
According to the complaint, during a Civil Police operation at the house in Oruam on July 22, 2025 to comply with a court order to search and seize a minor who had allegedly committed acts similar to drug trafficking and property crimes, the rapper and seven other people threw stones of great weight and volume at the victims.
Oruam is the son of drug dealer Márcio dos Santos Nepomuceno, Marcinho VP, who is imprisoned in a federal penitentiary.
