Jefferson’s defense asked that he be transferred from the Gericinó Penitentiary Complex in Bangu, where he is being held, to the Samaritano Barra Hospital.

This is not the first time that the former deputy has needed medical attention. On August 30, 2021, he felt sick and was admitted to a UPA in the Bangu complex, being transferred, in September, to Hospital Samaritano.
