The Judicial Police have arrested a foreign national wanted by Brazilian judicial authorities, according to Google News PT — Crime (pt), based on official Judicial Police communications. The man, aged 43, was serving a 14-year sentence for murder offences — both attempted and completed — committed in complicity with others.
The facts date back to August 2005 in the state of Minas Gerais. The defendant and one or more accomplices forced their way into the victims' residence and fired several shots, fatally wounding one of them. The other survived by chance. Following the attack, the suspects fled the scene on a motorcycle.
The location and arrest were conducted by the Judicial Police's Criminal Information Unit. The detainee was brought before the Évora Court of Appeal, which ordered preventive custody whilst extradition proceedings are ongoing.
