Débora since last year.
“The records of absence of GPS signal, mentioned in the case file, do not indicate any attempt at evasion or deliberate non-compliance with the imposed conditions. Such occurrences arise, with high probability, from technical failures inherent to the electronic monitoring system, and are not capable of characterizing disciplinary misconduct”, said the defense.
