The historic accordion, stolen from the Arraiá do Comércio dressing room in central Feira de Santana, was recovered two days after the crime. The information was confirmed to Acorda Cidade by the Civil Police and the Military Police. Details of the incident will be announced later today. The musical instrument belongs to Forrozeiro Baio do Acordeon, leader of the band Os Bambas do Nordeste and was a gift from Luiz Gonzaga in 1974.

The suspect, 39 years old, is a can picker and is brought to the Complexo de Delegacias in the Sobradinho district. However, since there was neither an arrest in the act nor a warrant for his arrest, he is released. He denies the crime, but according to the civil police he was wearing the same clothes as on the day of the crime, as the surveillance cameras showed. Wait for more information, report in progress.
