The businessman was arrested in the UAE and arrived in Brazil late Saturday afternoon
Businessman Thiago Brennad is arrested at Pinheiros CDP. He is currently isolated from the other 709 inmates on the site. According to internal regulations, he can spend 10 to 30 days alone before coming into contact with other inmates in the place. In prison, he had to cut his hair and shave his beard to comply with the statute.
According to the information of the Fantastic, from Tv Globo, the businessman, who arrived in Brazil extradited from the United Arab Emirates on Saturday 29, sat in the back of the plane and was not handcuffed during the flight, which made a stopover in France. “I am rotten. I’ve literally been wearing the same outfit for two days,” Brennand said.
José Vianey, head of the federal police, said that everything was done according to the rules: “The Thiago procedure was carried out in the same way that normal extradition procedures are carried out. Abu Dhabi Police transported him to Dubai where our police team was located and Dubai Police together with Abu Dhabi Police handed over the extradited person to Dubai International Airport. Then, from this delivery, the aircraft is embarked. In this type of procedure, the normal thing, and that’s what happened, is done in front of the passengers, just so as not to attract attention”.
On Sunday morning, 30, the businessman underwent a custody hearing at the Barra Funda Forum, in the west of São Paulo. The São Paulo court has decided to maintain his detention.
He had been in the UAE since September 2022, when Judge Érika Mascarenhas, of São Paulo’s 6th Criminal Court, issued the first arrest warrant against Brennand. Accused of physical and sexual violence against women and with five arrest warrants issued by the Justice.
The flight from the United Arab Emirates, which had a stopover in France, arrived in Brazil around 6 pm. After disembarking, it was taken to a Federal Police office inside the airport, and then taken by PF agents to the Regional Superintendency of Lapa, in the western area of São Paulo, where he underwent a forensic examination.
The Superintendence was notified of the arrest warrant and Brennant spent the night waiting for the custody hearing, in which a judge limited himself to asking the defendant if there were any irregularities in the execution of his arrest.
Brennand extradition procedure
On April 16, the National Secretariat of Justice, linked to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, confirmed that the UAE had authorized the extradition, complying with the request of the Brazilian Justice.
A team of the Federal Police landed on Thursday 27 in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, for the final phase of the businessman’s extradition process.
PF sources confirmed the trip of a delegate and two agents of the corporation, as well as an agent with jiu-jitsu training to escort Brennand to Brazil. Normally, the escort of an extradited Brazilian citizen is carried out by two PF agents. The strengthening as a team is due to the prisoner’s history of violence, who is also responsible for assault lawsuits. On social media, Brennand has claimed to be a fighter and a jiu-jitsu teacher.
The businessman’s extradition process dragged on for at least six months until it took place last Saturday 29th.
understand the allegations
There are five arrest warrants against him and eight criminal cases in court. The first arrest warrant, in the case of model Helena Gomes, who was attacked in a shopping mall in São Paulo, was issued a day after Brennand left the country and went abroad.
Another arrest warrant for the entrepreneur was issued against the woman who accused him of having kept her in a private prison and forcibly tattooing her initials on her body. In another act, he was accused of rape by a woman brought to his villa, in a luxury condominium in Porto Feliz. The fourth arrest was decreed for the report of rape in a hotel in the capital, made by the former miss and medical student Stefanie Cohen.
According to the criminal lawyer Leonardo Pantaleão, the existing procedural alternative to prevent Brennand, once he arrives in Brazil, from being sent directly to the penitentiary system, is that his defense can revoke the arrest warrants issued against him by the court of first instance. . “The Court of Justice of São Paulo, in re-examining the reasons for his arrest, should disregard them and, therefore, authorize him to respond freely to all the accusations”.
Earlier this month, Brennand’s defense filed requests for justice to have the arrest warrants reversed, but the requests were denied. Asked by the journalist to comment on the extradition order, the defense did not respond. In a video released this month, Brennand denied the allegations and said he would be “unjustly arrested”.
The authorization of Brennand’s extradition coincided with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s (PT) visit to the United Arab Emirates. On 16 April, the president commented that the matter had not been officially discussed with the country’s president, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, and said the matter was a matter of justice. He added, however, that the aggression of women is “humanly unacceptable” and whoever practiced it must pay.
