In view of these considerations, based on articles 311, 312, 313, of the Code of Criminal Procedure, I welcome the representation made by the police authority, and MAINTAIN THE PREVENTIVE PRISON OF VENILSON CANDIDO DA SILVA, as a guarantee of public order and to ensure the convenience of criminal investigation”highlights the document.
