Dino cited the episode recorded at 00:08 on Saturday (Nov 22), when the monitoring equipment was damaged. For him, the evidence is unequivocal: “Widely publicized video constitutes incontrovertible evidence regarding the attempt to destroy the equipment guaranteeing the precautionary measure”. According to the minister, the act demonstrates “flagrant violation” of the rules imposed by the STF and increases the risk of escape.
