After reporting on her social networks the filing of a police report that she had registered in Cocalzinho de Goiás, in the Federal District (DF), lawyer Árícka Rosalia Alves Cunha was arrested by police chief Christian Zilmon Mata dos Santos last Wednesday (15). The lawyer was only released after paying R$10,000 in bail.
The Prerogative Defense System (SDP) of the Brazilian Bar Association, Goiás Section (OAB-GO), ordered the initiation of proceedings against delegate Christian, after the lawyer’s considered arbitrary arrest, in the municipality of Pirenópolis.

However, according to a document published on its social networks, the incident was archived for a provisional period, claiming that the decision was taken due to the lack of police officers at the police station and that it would only return when there was an effective increase in police officers at the department.
Thus, Árícka asked for the case to be unarchived and published it on her social networks.
According to a video by delegate Christian Zilmon Mata dos Santos, he points out that the lawyer offended him and that she had told him that the action of closing the case was taken personally. The delegate indicates that these statements resulted in the lawyer’s arrest for contempt and insult.
In an official note, the Civil Police of Goiás claims that the case was taken to the PCGO Corrections and Discipline Superintendence, which is investigating what happened.
