“The 9th Special Criminal Court has accepted the prosecutor’s request to correct the investigation allegation to include BRUNO FREITAS MANTUANO DE LUCA as the perpetrator of the crime (failure to provide assistance) provided for in Article 135 of the Penal Code,” the press office said. According to TJ, a special hearing must be scheduled to reach a criminal settlement.
In September, Kayky Brito was run over along with Bruno De Luca at a kiosk in Rio’s West Zone. The driver involved immediately provided assistance to the victim, De Luca left the scene of the accident without providing assistance to his friend. In a later statement, the host claimed to have witnessed the incident, but said he did not recognize Kayky as the victim at the time.
Initially, Rio police decided not to charge De Luca. However, the intervention of prosecutor Márcio Almeida Ribeiro da Silva led to a reassessment of the situation, culminating in the current court decision. De Lucas’s defense, in turn, argues that at the time of the accident several people had already provided assistance and, among other things, called the fire department. Therefore, Bruno cannot be responsible for the crime.
“Bruno De Luca cannot at any time be accused of not providing assistance, since several people have already provided the necessary assistance, including the emergency call of the fire department. “Bruno provided all explanations and for no other reason was it concluded that no improper conduct occurred,” he said by email.
O Estadao attempted to contact actors Bruno de Luca and Kayky Brito to comment on the court decision. At the time of publication, neither had responded. The space remains open for your manifestations.
