Overview

• Iram de Almeida Saraiva Júnior, a physician and former Goiânia councilman who also served as a state deputy in Goiás, was detained at his home in Barra da Tijuca on Wednesday under a court warrant.
• The arrest follows a Dcav investigation launched after a daycare reported concerns in March about the two-year-old child.
• Investigators took statements from witnesses and reviewed evaluations by a pediatrician and a psychologist, alongside a specialized interview of the child.
• A prior search-and-seizure action captured the suspect’s cellphone, which was sent for forensic analysis, according to police.
• After booking at Dcav, he is to be transferred to the state prison administration (Seap), and reporters had not reached his defense by publication time.
