Judge Marcius da Costa Ferreira, from the 7th Criminal Chamber of the Court of Justice of the State of Rio de Janeiro, determined on Tuesday (17) the issuance of the release permit in favor of the.
He was serving pre -trial detention for a complaint from the Rio de Janeiro Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPRJ), which accuses him of involvement with criminal organization.
Freedom was granted in an injunction in the context of a habeas corpus, and will remain valid until the final judgment of the request. In the decision, the magistrate replaced the pre -trial detention for precautionary measures, taking into account the professional history of Turnowski, who was once head of the Civil Police, state secretary and candidate for federal deputy.
Among the measures imposed are:
- Prohibition of access to any office of the Civil Police or the Rio Public Security Bureau;
- Prohibition of contact with the other accused, by any means;
- Prohibition to leave the country, with obligation to deliver the passport to the court of origin.
The judge also pointed out that Turnowski collaborated with investigations over the nearly three years of processing the process and that the instructional phase has already been completed, which, according to him, reduces the risk of interference in the progress of the criminal action.
Remember the case
Allan Turnowski was arrested on May 7, after voluntarily surrendered to the Civil Police Office the night before. He entered the José Frederico Marques prison in Benfica, north of Rio.
Preventive arrest was restored by the Second Class of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) on May 1, reversing the injunction previously granted by Minister Kassio Nunes Marques. Most of the collegiate – formed by ministers Edson Fachin, Gilmar Mendes and André Mendonça – voted for the return of prison, while ministers Nunes Marques and Dias Toffoli were won.
Defendant for criminal organization, Turnowski is accused of involvement with the animal game and had been previously arrested in the course of the process, but remained shortly detained.
In a statement at the time, the defense stated that he had been free for more than three years, fully complying with alternative measures and had already filed resources in various instances against the new prison.
The case is a secret of justice.
