The Public Prosecutor’s Office of São Paulo asked the Justice that Elize Matsunaga return to prison for using false documents. The Civil Police of Sorocaba found that she falsified the certificate of criminal record.
On February 27, a search and seizure was carried out against Matsunaga, and his cell phone and computer were seized. She gave testimony and was indicted for using a false document.
On social networks, Guilherme Derrite, Secretary of Public Security of SP, stated that criminal recidivism is one of the realities that the authorities face and highlighted that Matsunaga had been released due to the progression of the sentence, a measure that he criticized.
Recently, she started working as an app driver on the TaxiMaxim platform. In a note, the company said it requires a National Driver’s License, a vehicle in good condition and with up-to-date documents and that the driver is over 18 years old.
And he added: “Elize Araújo Giacomini meets all the requirements and, moreover, has a good rating and no complaints on the Maxim app.”
remember the case
In 2012, Elize Matsunaga murdered her husband, Marcos Kitano Matsunaga, then executive director of the Yoki food industry, in the couple’s apartment, in the west zone of São Paulo. According to the authorities, she would have discovered that he had a mistress, and, during an argument, shot the businessman. She then quartered the body and left it at various points in the city.
In a statement a few days after the crime, Matsunaga confessed to what happened and was taken to the Tremembé Women’s Penitentiary.
She was charged with triple qualified intentional homicide, destruction and concealment of a corpse. On November 28, 2016, the trial of the case began at the Minister Mário Guimarães Criminal Forum, in São Paulo.
Among the witnesses heard by the authorities were the victim’s brother, the police chief who presided over the investigation and an employee of the company run by Marcos, among others.
In the early hours of December 5, 2016, Elize Matsunaga was sentenced to 19 years, 11 months and one day in prison for the crime, including 18 years and 9 months in prison for homicide without a chance of defense, and one year, two months and one day for hiding the corpse.
The jury accepted the prosecution’s qualifying requests that the crime did not offer the victim a chance of defense, but refused to infer that it was a base and somewhat cruel motive.
In 2019, she had her sentence reduced to 16 years and three months by the 5th Class of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) for confessing to the crime.
Elize left the Tremembé Women’s Penitentiary after ten years in prison in 2022, after a court decision granted her parole.
According to Matsunaga’s lawyer, the forecast is that the prison sentence will be served by January 2028, with the possibility of a 50-day reduction for work and study while in prison.
