The defendant, who has already left the forum arrested, was sentenced to the crimes of qualified homicide, illegal exercise of medicine and ideological falsehood. Initially, the criminal will serve a closed sentence, with no right to appeal in freedom. He will also have to pay an indemnity of $ 300,000 to the victim’s parents.

Prison and Investigation

Leonardo Luz Moreira was denounced by the Public Prosecution Service of the State of Espírito Santo (MPES) in 2023, after an investigation that proved his fraudulent performance and responsibility for the murder of a 10 -year -old child.

In an instructional hearing in which witnesses were heard and Leonardo participated through a video conferencing, the defendant claimed to reside in the south of the country, which, he said, made his physical presence impossible in the commitment.

Subpoena warrants were issued to the address informed by him. However, it was found that Moreira did not live in place. Given this, the prosecutor found that the defendant was enrolled and attended a medical course at a university in Saltos del Guairá, Paraguay. With this, the MPES requested the court the custody of Leonardo, who was granted and enforced by the Military Police of Paraná.
