The Civil Police carried out a virtual reenactment of death from palmeirense Gabriela Ringsvictim of another football-related violence the last 8th of this month, around AllianzParqueafter Palmeiras and Flamengo fans fought hours before the match between the teams.




With determination of the Justice of São Pauloor Homicide and Personal Protection Department (DHPP) last Friday he took over the case, which was previously with the Police Commissioner for the Repression of Crimes of Sports Intolerance (Drade).

The DHPP is analyzing footage from the brawl that led to the death of the 23-year-old Palmeiras fan and is looking for new footage that could show the exact moment the Palmeiras fan was hit in the neck by shards from a glass bottle.

According to the delegate Ivalda Alessiohead of DHP extension, the police also heard new witnesses. “We are analyzing all possibilities,” said Ivalda al Stadiumon the investigations to find out who threw the bottle whose splinters hit Gabriella Anelli’s neck.

The DHPP did not start from scratch to investigate the case. In fact, he continued the work previously done by Drade, led by delegate Cesar Saad. According to Ivalda, since last Friday it has been possible to capture new images, before and also during the fight.

The work intensified last Saturday 16, when the DHPP teams and the forensic experts of the Civil Police went to Rua Padre Antônio Tomás, one of the streets surrounding Allianz Parque, where Gabriela was killed.

According to the Secretariat of Public Security of the State of São Paulo (SSP), in the reconstitution, they have been used 3D scanners AND drones at the crime scene. According to the SSP, this technological approach “will allow for a more accurate analysis of the facts and contribute to a better understanding of the events that occurred”. Two civil guards were interviewed on Monday.

Who killed Gabriela Rings?

Images circulating on social media show at least two fans, one from Flamengo and one from Palmeiras, throwing bottles during the riot. A video recorded by ESPN shows a bearded man in a light-colored shirt throwing a bottle at Palmeiras fans who were on the other side of a metal divider separating the fans. In the same recording, Gabriela appears trying to enter the area intended for Flamengo fans.

According to Deputy Ivalda, this bearded man is not the prime suspect, but one of them. Other images show a Palmeiras fan, carrying a rucksack and wearing the team’s green jersey, throwing what appears to be a glass bottle. The object explodes in the metal protection that divided the two wicks. Gabriella Anelli appears at the top of the screen, wearing a white jacket and navy blue pants.

Flamenguista arrested and released

OR The flamenco player Leonardo Felipe Xavier Santiagoformer member of an organization linked to the club, Fla Manguaça, was arrested in flagrante delicto on the day of the crime, but was released last Wednesday due to weak evidence, as pointed out by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of São Paulo and Judge Marcela Raia de Sant’Anna.

The magistrate who determined Santiago’s release said in his decision that the delegate who had investigated the case, Cesar Saad, “was hasty and unprepared to conduct the investigation.”

Saad has repeatedly stated publicly that Santiago had confessed, in an informal interview with the police, to throwing the bottle that injured and killed Gabriela. However, during the interrogation at the police station, Santiago gave another version. He said people from Palmeiras had thrown firecrackers at Flamengo fans and that, in response, he decided to throw ice stones, “but these were very small and didn’t even reach the metal barrier” that separated the local fans from those visiting.

The crime

The incident occurred around 17:45, more than three and a half hours before the start of the match between Palmeiras and Flamengo, near gates C and D of the Allianz Parque, on Rua Padre Antônio Tomas. There was a metal fence to separate the Flamengo fans from the Palmeiranians, but it wasn’t sufficient to prevent the fan’s death, and it was often opened, giving fans space to throw rocks and bottles.

In fact, the videos show the metal partition open for the passage of a vehicle of the Metropolitan Civil Guard (GCM) and people from Palmeiras and Flamengo who throw bottles through this gap and also over the protection. The images show that there was little police at the time of the fight.

Only one GCM vehicle was nearby, but, according to Prime Minister Estadão, policing in the stadium area and adjacent streets was carried out by the 2nd Assault Police Battalion (BPChq) at the time of the incident. Saad actually claimed that the prime minister arrived at the venue at 7pm, two hours before the match.

Gabriela was rescued at the Allianz petrol station. Having ascertained the seriousness of the wounds, she was sent to the Santa Casa, where she was hospitalized and underwent surgery. The palmeirense had two cardiorespiratory arrests, was in a pharmacological coma and died at dawn on the 10th.

The Palmeiras fan was buried last Tuesday in Embu das Artes, in Greater São Paulo, in a ceremony marked by pain, emotion and pleas for peace from family and friends of the Palmeiras, who according to his father “lived” the team dell’Alviverde, Ettore Marchiano Rings. “Her club was Palmeiras. 23-year-old girls like other things, she liked Palmeiras. It was too passionate.”
