Videos trending on g1 According to the agency's investigations, the "victim had contracted a debt with those involved after consuming part of the drugs he was supposed to sell and adulterating the drug intended for sale. Furthermore, Rogério started selling drugs to a rival group, circumstances that, according to the accusation, motivated the commission of the crime." The Jury Court recognized that the accused committed qualified homicide for a base motive, using cruel means, using a resource that made the victim's defense difficult and committing the crime to ensure the execution of another crime. The Sentencing Council also accepted the thesis of association for trafficking presented by prosecutor Jonas Junio ??Linhares Costa Monteiro. In a note, the MPMG declared: “The Public Ministry of Minas Gerais reaffirms its institutional commitment to the defense of life, the fight against violent crime and the search for accountability for perpetrators of intentional crimes against life, always with respect for constitutional guarantees and due legal process”.
