São Paulo Reassigns High-Profile Prisoners, Unwinding Tremembé’s ‘Celebrity Wing’

Overview

• At least five well-known inmates—Robinho, Thiago Brennand, Ronnie Lessa, Fernando Sastre de Andrade Filho, and Walter Delgatti Neto—were transferred from Tremembé between November and December, according to O Globo.
• Destinations included the Centro de Ressocialização de Limeira, Penitenciária I de Guarulhos for sex offenders, and Penitenciária II de Potim.
• Most moves were requested by the prisoners or their defenses, while the São Paulo prison authority ordered Delgatti’s relocation and said transfers follow internal protocols not disclosed for security reasons.
• Several transferees left a unit not reported as overcrowded for facilities operating above their stated capacity.
• On January 12, Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes authorized Delgatti’s progression to the semi-open regime.
