Judge Felipe Barros, assistant to the General Inspectorate of Justice of Rio Grande do Norte, conducted an unusual custody hearing last week. When approving the arrest of a man accused of theft, detained by members of the public, the magistrate heard: “Are you giving me a preventive measure? I don’t think you even wore underwear to court today. Preventative without me owing? Go put on a diaper, dog .”, said Alisson, the prisoner.
The custody hearing lasted less than ten minutes and ended with the magistrate officiating at the Public Prosecutor’s Office to determine the contempt of all those present at the hearing. It was also determined that the Institutional Security Office of the Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Norte “keep an eye” on the accused.
“I didn’t feel threatened, it seemed more rude than anything else. But just in case, I will forward it”, noted the judge shortly before ending the hearing.
The case was registered on Thursday, 26th, following the usual rite of a custody hearing – a procedure in which the legality of the arrest is assessed. Alisson answered questions about his detention.
He said he was a hairdresser and said he had “injuries from an attempted murder”. Alisson was detained by members of the public after a theft crime, and was then taken to the police station. He claimed he was injured while being restrained.
When the judge asked where Alisson lives, he cited an address in Afonso Bezerra and shouted: “There where I set fire to a vehicle without even picking it up, just with my order. I’m more dangerous than Fernandinho Beira-Mar, just snap a finger and the forum will explode.”
Alisson was referring to the leader of the criminal faction Comando Vermelho, who was held in Mossoró prison until March this year. After the jail recorded the first escape from the federal system, he was transferred.
“And I’m the one who’s going to pop there if you give me jail. Do you confirm? Who are you talking to here? That I am from Carneiros”, he concluded, in reference to the criminal faction that operates in Rio Grande do Norte.
During the hearing, judge Felipe Barros did not change his tone. “Right,” he said after Alisson’s threats. While the magistrate and the representative of the Public Ministry spoke at the hearing, the prisoner laughed, made faces and clapped his hands.
“I’m glad you know you’re an authority here too”, replied the prisoner. “I got three years for contempt of words. I think it’s three extra minutes that you have to talk to me”, he added.
The judge then asked if Alisson had any complaints about the police officers who arrested him. He replied no, that the agents were kind to him. When they arrived at the scene, Alisson was already detained by the population. He maintained that he injured his eye in the confusion with the people.
“I’ve been sleeping in a police station for two days with the police officers giving me sausages. Will I complain to the police? The police treating me with more respect than the city’s population. Congratulations to the police,” he said, clapping his hands.
The decision to keep Alisson in prison followed the opinion of the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Norte. The prosecutor highlighted that the prisoner has already responded for crimes of threat, robbery and extortion. He stressed that Alisson is a dangerous person and could threaten the judge. The representative of the MP at the hearing even “honored” the patience of judge Felipe Barros.
The preventive detention was justified by the history of several crimes attributed to Alisson, despite the fact that the theft that sent him to jail was not carried out with violence or serious threat, the magistrate noted.
A woman arrested in the same confusion ended up being released after complying with precautionary measures, as she had no prior record. Alisson clapped when the judge announced the girl’s release.
