In one of the longest trials of the year, which began at 9:48 am this Tuesday (12/15), and ended around 11:20 pm, businessman Antnio Azevedo dos Santos, 49, accused of murdering Guilherme Elias Veisac, 32, ex-boyfriend his companion was sentenced to 16 years and six months in prison by Judge Henrique Mendona Schvartzmann, of the Jri Court of Minas Gerais. The sentence was for double qualified homicide and the right to appeal in freedom was denied.

OR crime took place in 2016 in Bairro Jardim Atlntico, Regio da Pampulha, in Belo Horizonte. The sentencing council consisted of seven jurors. Representing the Public Ministry in the accusation was the prosecutor Denise Guerzoni Coelho. The ru was defended by

lawyer Quaresma, like Bruno.

A dennce formulated by the Public Ministry of Minas Gerais (MPMG) said that Antnio and his ex-partner maintained a stable union for 10 years and separated at the end of 2015.

Investigations indicated that Antnio had planned the murder. At the time of the crime, he was on his way to Nova Serrana, in the Midwest Region of Minas Gerais, with his children, when he saw his ex-wife arrive with Guilherme at the building on her cell phone. He had the keys to the apartment and, since he was already the administrator of the condominium, he had access to security camera footage. Unhappy with his ex’s new relationship, Antnio decided kill the man.

The ru entered his ex-partner’s apartment around 4:30 am, while the couple was sleeping. In her testimony, she said that Antnio pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her.

Guilherme would have tried to calm him down when he was shot. Before leaving, according to research, the suspect He threatened his ex-wife, telling her that it would happen to all the men she related to and that he would not kill her yet. In the escape, he took the cell phones that were in the apartment and the landline.

The businessman was a fugitive and was arrested a year later. At the time of the crime, he went on to present himself as the Civil Police, but was released due to the electoral law.

The first witness to be heard on Tuesday was the businessman’s former partner, shortly before 11 in the morning. He spoke of threats and harassment that he suffered after ending the relationship until the day of the crime. She confirmed that on September 18, 2018, the businessman broke into her apartment and woke up the couple by turning on the lights and with a revolver in hand.

Shortly after noon, the defendant’s lawyer began to inquire. The witness repeated his testimony.

After lunch, the second witness, a detective, was heard. His testimony lasted about two hours and, for the most part, he answered questions from the defense attorney.

Next, the third witness, another policeman, would be heard, but the defense attorney who was at the crime scene. Shortly after the events, she was removed from office like the other witnesses. At that time, the defense attorney requested a 30-minute break.

At the resumption, it was the ru’s turn to be questioned. And at that moment the most important moment of the trial happened, since the businessman changed his version in relation to what he had deposed in the Civil Police, when he affirmed that there was a confrontation between him and the couple.

In his version of this Tuesday, he affirmed that there was no confrontation. He said that he was armed but that he did not know that Guilherme was there, that he would go to the apartment just to find out what was going on, but not knowing exactly that he would find him.

Antnio claimed that the gun was fired when Guilherme moved to get up on the sofa and got scared thinking that Guilherme was going to go after him. He also said that he did not intend to kill anyone. And that if he had intended to kill Danielle, he would have killed her because he had the chance.

He confirmed that he accepted the advice of the lawyer, so much so that the defense itself would request his sentence but without the qualifications that are imputed to him because he deserves to pay the crime, but in the way they accuse him.

Before the debate between the prosecution and defense, the judge gave a short break. Each party has, in principle, an hour and a half of time to present their thesis to the juries and then another hour each to respond and rejoin if they choose to return to the juries.

In the presentation of the accusation, the prosecutor Denise Guerzoni Coelho emphasized that the crime was premeditated and clumsy motivated by a feeling of possession of the accused by the former.
