Convicted of robbery is arrested for putting his own electronic ankle bracelet on his brother, who used the device for 7 years, in Paraná

A 49-year-old man was arrested in the Conjunto Novo Amparo neighborhood, in Londrina, in the North of Paraná, after trying to circumvent the electronic monitoring system by installing his own electronic ankle bracelet on his brother, who used the device for around seven years. The arrest was recorded this Friday (13).

The suspect was serving a semi-open sentence after being convicted of robbery in Curitiba. He still needs to serve another 19 years, 2 months and 19 days in prison.

In August of this year, a man was arrested for drug trafficking and resistance, according to information from police chief Magno Miranda. As a result, it was found that the electronic ankle bracelet he was wearing actually belonged to his brother convicted of robbery.

"The brother [who was arrested for drug trafficking in August this year] had been using this electronic ankle bracelet for around seven years, when this was discovered here in the city of Londrina, around three months ago", explained the police chief.

The court issued an arrest warrant, which was carried out by the 10th police subdivision of Londrina, considering that the person convicted of robbery is suspected of defrauding the penal system.

After discovering the irregularity, the Court revoked the semi-open regime and ordered the convict to be sent to the closed regime.
