Investigation investigates infiltration of a criminal faction in the judicial system to benefit prisoners in RN

How the scheme worked According to the complaint, Mayara Pereira Silva acted as an outsourced legal advisor and used access to the Unified Electronic Execution System (SEEU) to change procedural movements and prepare drafts of court decisions. Still according to the MPRN, she directed the criminal execution process of her own partner for consideration by a substitute judge during the main magistrate's vacation. The measure would have resulted in the granting of regime progression and the removal of the prisoner's electronic ankle bracelet. The investigation also points out that the former employee prepared petitions for other members of the faction, consulted records from the prison system and passed on confidential information obtained due to her position. Role of the others accused According to the Public Ministry, Israel de Andrade Maciel had enticed his partner to act in favor of the criminal organization within the Criminal Execution Court. He is also said to be responsible for offering legal facilities to members of the faction, in addition to managing drug trafficking, negotiating firearms and using third-party accounts to hide money obtained from criminal activities. Lawyer Evandson Domingos Gomes, according to the complaint, would have provided his own digital certificate so that the former employee could make petitions outside the work environment. The MPRN also states that he acted as an intermediary between arrested leaders and members of the free faction, transmitting orders, financial spreadsheets and receiving payments in money and drugs.
