Overview

• On September 26, the Superior Tribunal de Justiça granted a liminar revoking Oruam’s preventive detention and authorized replacement with non-custodial precautionary measures to be set by the trial judge.
• The state penitentiary authority said it has not been officially notified and is awaiting formal publication, so the rapper remains at Bangu 8, where he has been held since July 22.
• Relator Joel Ilan Paciornik found the detention order lacked concrete, individualized grounds, noting the small drug quantity cited in the case, the defendant’s primariness, and his voluntary surrender.
• The underlying case, which includes allegations such as attempted homicide against two Civil Police agents and related offenses, continues to move forward regardless of the custody change.
• The defense says there is no evidence of criminal conduct, calls the STJ ruling a restoration of the presumption of liberty, and states he will comply with any precautionary measures.
