Those involved in the death of an app driver in Guarulhos are arrested

Those involved in the accident that killed app driver Ednaldo de Souza Mendes, 41, on the 13th, turned themselves in this Thursday (1st) and were arrested, fulfilling a preventive arrest warrant that was open.

They tried to overtake another car, colliding head-on with the vehicle the victim was in, in Guarulhos.

In a statement, the Public Security Secretariat (SSP) reported that “examinations were requested from the Legal Medical Institute (IML) and the indicted remained at the disposal of the Judiciary”.

The case was investigated by the 1st DP of Guarulhos and the inquiry reported to the Judiciary, requesting the arrest of Gustavo Cardoso and Felipe Gambeta Malheiro, which was accepted by the Court.

The Civil Police asked that Felipe and Gustavo be charged with manslaughter with eventual intent, when the risk of killing is assumed.

The case

Gustavo Cardoso and Felipe Gambeta Malheiro were driving a car along Avenida Doutor Timóteo Penteado when they tried to overtake another car at high speed and collided head-on with the vehicle Ednaldo was in. The victim was rushed to hospital but died hours later.

Security camera footage showed that Felipe switched places with Gustavo, who was driving the car at the time of the crash.

The action was discovered a few hours later, which led to Malheiro being accused of procedural fraud.

Photos attached to the police report show that there was a bottle of whiskey next to the driver’s seat. However, Felipe did not take a breathalyzer test and was released from the scene by the police. The claim is that he needed to be taken to the hospital because he had an injury to his eyebrow.

A CNN sought the Penitentiary Administration Secretariat (SAP) to find out where those involved in the case will be held in custody, but had not received a response by the time this report was published.
