Former Public Prosecutor's Office advisor Guilherme de Camargo Modolo was released this Friday (13) in Palmas. He was released 8 hours after his arrest.

The release took place at a hearing led by judge Luís Astolfo. The decision considered that the suspect is a first-time offender and recently served in the ministerial body.

The victim reported having been attacked with punches and attempted hanging. The couple's history already accumulated 3 other previous police records for assault.

Former advisor to the Attorney General's Office of Tocantins Guilherme de Camargo Modolo was released eight hours after being arrested red-handed by the Military Police (PM), suspected of attacking his ex-partner. He was arrested during the early hours of Friday (13) after the victim reported the fourth incident of domestic violence.

According to TV Anhanguera, the release took place in the early afternoon, during a hearing led by guarantee judge Luís Astolfo. The decision followed a favorable opinion from prosecutor Luiz Gustavo Vieira, who considered the protective measures sufficient to protect the victim's integrity.

According to the decision, the judge took into account the fact that the suspect was a first-time offender and had recently worked at the ministerial body when determining provisional release.

Earlier, around 8 am, the judge on duty Agenor Alexandre had decreed precautionary measures against the suspect, which were maintained at the custody hearing. Guilherme de Camargo Modolo's defense informed that it will speak exclusively in the case files.

Among the court orders are immediate removal from home, prohibition of approaching the victim at a minimum distance of 200 meters and mandatory attendance at reflective group meetings for perpetrators of domestic violence, promoted by the Judiciary.

The victim reported that she was approached during the night and that Modolo tried to choke her, in addition to punching her in the face. A video sent to TV Anhanguera shows injuries and the woman's face visibly bruised.

The couple's history included three other previous police records motivated by complaints of aggression formalized by the victim.

The Tocantins Court of Justice (TJTO) announced that it does not comment on judicial decisions relating to processes that are still ongoing.

In a statement, the Public Ministry of Tocantins (MPTO) reported that the former civil servant held a commissioned position as an advisor and was dismissed on October 1st by the Attorney General of Justice.
