The São Paulo Court of Justice (TJSP) accepted, this Tuesday (20), a complaint for three crimes against the boy who was carried by military police with hands and feet tied by a rope at the time of arrest. With that, the man becomes a defendant. The police officers involved in the occurrence of his arrest remain removed from operational activities, with “possible excesses” still being investigated, according to the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP). Images from the body cameras of the police officers who acted in the incident were included in the investigation and are available for consultation by legal bodies, according to information from the SSP. The Military Police (PM) removed the six agents involved from operational activities, and an inquiry was launched to determine the circumstances relating to their actions in the episode. Judge Marcos Fleury Silveira de Alvarenga, of the TJSP, accepted the complaint of prosecutor Margarete Cristina Marques Ramos, of the Public Ministry of the State of São Paulo (MP), for the crimes of qualified theft by means of an agent contest, resistance to arrest and corruption of a minor. deity. The instruction, interrogation, debates and trial hearing was scheduled for July 27, 2023, “aiming at speeding up the process”, according to the judge. The magistrate also maintained the preventive detention of the accused “considering that [ele é] not only with a history of crimes against property, but at this point even a recidivist in intentional crimes”. According to the judge, among the items stolen by the boy were several drinks “in no way consistent with essential nature for human consumption”. Robson’s defense, a boy who was tied with ropes, claims that he was found with two boxes of chocolate. “We are aware that it is because he is black, because he is peripheral, because he is dressed in simpler clothes, because he is living in a place with less hygiene. This is prejudice, aporophobia, hatred against the poor and racism, yes”, said lawyer José Luiz de Oliveira Junior. According to the defense, Robson should be framed at most for simple theft. The MP’s complaint says that the defendant acted together with a man and a teenager. However, the defense claims that there is no objective proof that the three suspects for the theft were together, so much so that they were found separated, which would disqualify the charges for aggravated theft and corruption of a minor. Regarding the resistance, the defense awaits access to the cameras of the police uniforms, in addition to the images of the entrance of the building where it all happened. Oliveira Junior points out that, when the prison law is extrapolated, the measure can be considered illegal and should therefore be relaxed, causing the accused to respond freely for the occurrence. The lawyer compares the case to that of Roberto Jefferson, who fired shots at police vehicles, but was taken to the police station without handcuffs at the time. “This example is categorical. The difference is that Robson ‘offers a danger to society’, Roberto Jefferson with a machine gun shooting at the police, no. Look how the scales of justice are totally different for the poor, ”he said. Lawyers from human rights entities heard by Agência Brasil assessed that in no scenario would such conduct by the police during Robson’s arrest be acceptable.
