The defense of former deputy Flordelis filed, this Wednesday (19), at the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro (TJ-RJ), a request for habeas corpus requesting her provisional release until the judgment of the appeals against her conviction after the murder of Pastor Anderson do Carmo, in June 2019
Flordelis was sentenced, in November 2022, to 50 years and 28 days for triple-qualified murder, attempted double-qualified murder, in addition to using a false document and armed criminal association.
According to his lawyer, Rodrigo Faucz, there were numerous nullities in the trial session, which certainly led to the annulment of the jury.
Flordelis is sentenced to more than 50 years in prison for the death of Anderson do Carmo
Faucz went on to say that an appeal was filed against the conviction eight months ago, and the process did not even arrive for analysis at the TJ-RJ.
“Therefore, the excess of time is evident, and Flordelis cannot await the judgment of the appeals deprived of her liberty”, he explains.
According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, Flordelis was responsible for planning her husband’s murder, in addition to having convinced the direct executor and other accused to participate in the crime under the simulation of a robbery, having also financed the purchase of the weapon and warned of the victim’s arrival at the place where he was executed.
Still according to the investigations pointed out in the complaint, the crime would have been motivated because the victim kept strict control of the family finances and managed the conflicts in a rigid way, not allowing privileged treatment to the people closest to the former deputy to the detriment of other family members.
Other convictions
Simone dos Santos Rodrigues, daughter of Flordelis, was sentenced to 31 years and 4 months in prison for triple homicide, attempted double homicide and armed criminal association.
Flávio dos Santos Rodrigues, son of Flordelis, was sentenced to 29 years of imprisonment in a closed regime. He was denounced as the author of the shots that caused the pastor’s death.
In addition to him, Lucas Cezar dos Santos de Souza, the former parliamentarian’s adopted son, was sentenced to nine years in prison, accused of having been responsible for acquiring the weapon used in the murder. He is in a semi-open regime.
Adriano dos Santos Rodrigues, son of Flordelis, was sentenced to four years in a semi-open regime for using a false document and armed criminal association.
Marcos Siqueira Costa, a former military police officer, and his wife Andrea Santos Maia, were sentenced to five years in a closed regime and four years in a semi-open regime, respectively.
Adopted son Carlos Ubiraci Francisco da Silva was convicted of the crime of armed criminal association for two years, in an initially semi-open regime. In April 2022, the TJRJ Criminal Execution Rod granted Ubiraci parole.
remember the case
Pastor Anderson do Carmo had been married to Flordelis for 25 years. He was executed by gunfire on June 16, 2019, in the garage of the house where he lived with his family in Pendotiba, in the city of Niterói, Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro. According to the experts’ reports, 30 gunshot wounds were identified on the body.
The Public Ministry (MP) denounced the former parliamentarian and ten more people for the murder, in 2019. At the time, the pastor did not have her arrest requested due to her parliamentary immunity, which she lost in August 2021, when she was impeached by the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies.
According to the MP, seven of the 55 biological and adopted children of Flordelis are involved in the crime, in addition to a granddaughter and two other people. The body also claims that the former deputy tried to manipulate the witnesses of the process that investigates the case several times.
