19-year-old deacon is arrested in his brother's place and not recognized as a victim of robbery, says family at protest in Teresópolis

At 5:30 pm, Gabriel's lawyer told g1 that the decision on habeas corpus had been made and that the boy would be released.

According to relatives, Gabriel had lent his account on a transport app to his brother, and that the teenager used the registration to request a ride and, at the end of the journey, robbed the driver with a knife. The victim managed to prevent the vehicle from being taken, but had a sum of money stolen, according to the family's report.

According to relatives, when registering the incident, the driver informed the police of the name that appeared on the application: Gabriel.

The family claims that Gabriel was arrested and taken to the police station, but was not recognized by the driver during the recognition procedure carried out on the same day of his arrest, on November 3rd.

Relatives say the brothers have very different physical characteristics. Gabriel measures approximately 1.55 meters, while the teenager is around 1.73.

According to the family, the defense had already asked for the arrest to be revoked three times, but the requests had so far been denied.

The demonstration was organized to draw attention to the case and demand a solution before the Judiciary recesses. Family members feared that Gabriel would remain in prison during the end of the year period.
