Telmário Mota is also accused of having sent a wife; decision was made due to health problems it presents, including hypertension and depression with suicidal tendencies
The former senator who is serving a sentence for sexual harassment against his daughter, was released from prison after a year and is now under house arrest. The decision was made due to health problems it presents, including hypertension and depression with suicidal tendencies. Mota was sentenced to eight years in prison and his departure from the penitentiary was authorized by Judge Ricardo Oliveira, who accepted a request from Habeas Corpus. In addition to accusations of sexual harassment, Mota is also the subject of investigations related to the death of his ex-wife, Antonia Araújo de Sousa. The authorities suspect that he has ordered her murder. The crime occurred three days before Antonia gave testimony in a rape case involving the former senator’s daughter, which raises even more gravity to the accusations.
Investigations revealed that Mota was monitoring the routine of Antonia and her daughter before the crime. The ex-wife was shot in the head, and Deputy João Evangelista stated that there is no doubt about Mota’s participation in murder planning. The evidence collected so far indicates that he played an active role in the execution of the crime. Telmário Mota’s situation is complex, as he faces not only condemnation for sexual harassment, but also the possibility of being held responsible for an even more serious crime.
