Overview

• CNJ teams carried out an administrative inspection on Monday in Ítalo’s office at the 5th Criminal Chamber and removed him from his post during the probe.
• The action stems from scrutiny of decisions, including a habeas corpus that granted release to Alekssandro Rocha Silva, known as Sam da Caicó, a Comando Vermelho leader convicted to 147 years.
• Reporting indicates that during the August 10 judicial on-call period, Ítalo granted injunctions to three high-risk detainees: Sam da Caicó, Luciano da Silva Teixeira (Sardinha) and Avelino Gonçalves Lima.
• The Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice said it will not comment because the case is under seal.
• News outlets issued corrections clarifying that the CNJ measure was an administrative inspection rather than searches.
