The possible change in classification depends on the Civil Police, the analysis of the elements of the investigation and the expert reports. “I really wanted him to be charged with intentional homicide, because he took responsibility for killing,” said Marina. Miguel Teodoro Nalini, 19 years old, gave a statement after his girlfriend died in an accident in Franca, SP Disclosure According to her, the family was outraged by the denial of alcohol consumption in the statement. “Because from the moment you, without a license, after drinking alcohol, put a 15-year-old girl on the back and still drive at high speed, you are assuming the risk, you are assuming that you could kill someone,” he stated. The speech represents the family's assessment. The dynamics of the accident and the possible ingestion of alcoholic beverages are still being investigated by the Civil Police. What Miguel Jovem said says that a motorcycle failure caused an accident that killed his girlfriend in Franca, SP When leaving the statement, Miguel denied having drunk before the accident. He stated that he bought the drink for friends. “I went to buy it for my friends, but I didn't drink the drink and I only took it to them, because they asked me to buy it,” he said. In a previous interview, Miguel also attributed the accident to a motorcycle failure. "I tried to brake, I tried to do everything there, but I couldn't. I don't know exactly what happened to it [the bike], because everything happened so fast. I didn't have much to react." CNH Marina said that the family did not know that Miguel did not have a license to ride a motorcycle. According to her, his friends were also unaware of the information. "No, we didn't know, even his friends didn't know. He told everyone that he had one. We found out that he didn't have a license after the accident, after the news." The case remains under investigation by the Civil Police. The family intends to contact the responsible police officer to ask for a reevaluation of the classification of the crime. Until the last update of this report, there was no information on indictments for intentional homicide. The Civil Police must analyze the new video, the statements, the security camera images and the expert reports before concluding the investigation.
