Why It Matters
The Public Ministry of Minas Gerais reported that, for each of the previously recorded deaths, a criminal investigative procedure was initiated. According to the agency, the investigations are ongoing and are being processed under secrecy. In relation to the death recorded last Sunday, the MP informed that it will also initiate a new investigative procedure.
"I saw a vehicle like that, but it wasn't a traffic stop, nothing. It was close to a salon, a somewhat well-known salon, stopped. Then it was the only vehicle I saw, but we didn't get to pass in front of that vehicle, so there was no order to stop, there was no blitz, there was nothing. I was going to ask him to stop, if I had seen it, because he had a license, the motorcycle was always up to date, so it was very fast, I didn't see it, I didn't see it myself. I'm deducing that He looked and had to pull over, because in the video you can see that he was doing it like this, to the side. I didn't see that car behind me," he said.
"This statement from the victim is in agreement, combined with the image from the security cameras that were later released, which shows that the police vehicle, at the time of the approach, was completely turned off. The giroflex was off, the headlights were off, so it shows that the police officers acted illegally. It is logical that I am speaking in a preliminary way and all this will be investigated, it is under investigation", he declared.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with Cauã, because when he asks about his father, he hears the sound of a motorcycle, he asks, is that my father? I say, no, it's not your father. I think it's literally irreversible damage," he said.
