Rapper Oruam Freed Under Court Restrictions After STJ Revokes Preventive Detention

Overview

• Oruam left Rio’s Gericinó/Bangu complex at 5:08 p.m. on September 29 after SEAP executed an electronically issued release order.
• The trial court replaced custody with measures including electronic ankle monitoring, nightly home confinement from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and monthly check-ins.
• He is barred from entering the Complexo do Alemão and other flagged areas, must avoid co-defendants and a cited adolescent by 500 meters, and cannot leave the comarca for more than seven days without authorization.
• The release followed hours after SEAP said it was still awaiting formal notice of the STJ decision, which overturned his detention for lack of concrete justification.
• Criminal proceedings continue on accusations tied to a July police operation, and on October 1 he posted evidence of wearing the ankle monitor while out of custody.
