After the complaint, the Public Ministry investigates whether the German consul left Brazil

The Public Ministry (MP) is investigating whether the German consul accused of killing her husband in a penthouse in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, this month, left Brazil. The graduate was denounced and had preventive detention requested by the MP for triple qualified murder, the Rio de Janeiro agency reported this Monday.

Uwe Herbert Hahn, who was accused of killing his spouse, Belgian Walter Henri Maximilien Biot, had been in prison since August 7, but left prison on Friday by decision of a judge, who argued that prosecutors had missed the initial deadline. to file the complaint.

The Public Ministry rejected the magistrate’s allegation and said that “there was no loss of procedural deadline for filing the complaint” against the consul. Prosecutors said they are investigating whether the diplomat left Brazil after his release.

According to a report by the G1 news portal, Hahn left Rio on Sunday night and would already be back in Germany.

In the complaint, the MP said that the crime was committed for a clumsy reason, “the abject feeling of possession that the accused had for the victim, subjugating him financially and psychologically, and not admitting that the victim tried to establish some level of independence from the accused, be it economically or by establishing friendly relationships with other people”.

According to the prosecution, “the crime was committed in such a way as to make it difficult for the victim to defend himself, who had his reaction capacity reduced by the ingestion of alcoholic beverages and medication for anxiety”.

The delegate of the case, Camila Lourenço, regretted the release of the diplomat. “We worked tirelessly to investigate the facts to find the author of this barbaric crime and to be able to elucidate it in record time,” she told Reuters.

After Biot’s death, the consul told police that her husband had fallen after suffering a sudden illness. Police, however, arrested him on suspicion of murder after forensics found bloodstains in the apartment and the autopsy of Biot’s body showed multiple injuries, leading them to consider the case a “violent death”.

Sought after, the German consulate in Rio de Janeiro could not be found for comment.
