Judge Raphael Ernane Neves, of the First Criminal Court of the Foro de Registro, in the interior of São Paulo, decreed this Wednesday (22) the preventive detention of prosecutor Demétrius Oliveira de Macedo, who was recorded assaulting the attorney general of the municipality Gabriela Samadello Monteiro de Barros.

Also on Wednesday, the São Paulo Police Ombudsman, Elizeu Soares Lopes, requested Macedo’s temporary arrest “in order to safeguard the victim’s rights.” However, the court ordered the prosecutor’s preventive detention.

According to the dispatch of delegate Daniel Vaz Rocha, of the 1st Police District of Record, Macedo “has been having serious problems in the relationship with women in the work environment, and, in freedom, he exposes their lives to danger, and consequently, the public order.”

The mayor of Registro, Nilton Hirota (PSDB), said that the aggression is “execrable and abominable”, preventively suspended the prosecutor from his activities for 30 days and affirmed that everything possible will be done “within the procedures of the law”.

In the incident report obtained by the CNN , Gabriela narrates that, around 4:50 pm on Monday, Macedo left her room and came towards her, elbowing her in the head and throwing her against the wall. The aggressor followed with punches against the colleague, who fell to the ground.
