The sum of the penalties of the crimes by which the prisoner Maicol dos Santos has been accused can add over 45 years.
Accused and arrested since March for the death of Vitória Regina de Sousa, Maicol was denounced by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor (MPSP) on Tuesday (30). MPSP also requested the opening of a new investigation to investigate the possible someone else’s participation in the concealment of the corpse.
Understand: What is known about 3rd person who would be at the crime scene
THE complaint presented and released during a press conference include four crimes : Qualified kidnapping, femicide, corpse concealment and procedural fraud . The sum of the maximum abstract penalties may exceed 45 years, although the compliance limit is 40 years, according to Brazilian law.
THE qualified kidnapping It is attributed due to the age of the victim, a teenager, and to the libidinous end. THE femicide It was qualified by cruel, in addition to accusations of concealment of the crime of kidnapping and futile motive.
This typification differs from the indictment of the Civil Police, which was for qualified homicide. Maicol’s defense claims that the change in typification is a maneuver to increase the maximum penalty of the accused.
The penalty for femicide It varies from 12 to 30 years, according to the Penal Code. Compliance with maximum penalty in Brazil, however, is 40 years. Already the procedural fraud because it is a criminal case, it may result in a penalty of six months to four years, in addition to a fine.

During the last 57 days, Maicol dos Santos, reported on Tuesday for several crimes-including femicide and corpse concealment-was temporarily arrested. Police stated for more than one opportunity that he acted alone. However, a third element emerged as a likely participant in one of the crimes.
