Judge Gustavo Kalil, of the 4th Criminal Court of the Capital of the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro, accepted the complaint from the Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro and ordered the preventive detention of the German consul Uwe Herbert Hahn, accused of the death of her husband, the Belgian Walter Henri Maximilien Biot on the 5th of August.
The magistrate also determined the inclusion of the consul’s name in the Interpol list of fugitives, because the accused had left for Germany on Sunday (28), after obtaining habeas corpus on the 25th.
The judge ordered the dispatch to the Federal Police ex officio, communicating the existence of a warrant for the consul’s arrest to include him in Interpol’s international bank of wanted and fugitives.
