Farmer killed in RS: internal affairs department concludes that police officers did not commit military crimes A decision by the Military Court annulled the evidence obtained from cell phones seized during the investigation of the operation that ended with the death of farmer Marcos Nörnberg, in Pelotas, in the early hours of January 15 this year. The Military Court understood, in a session held last week, that the deadline for extracting data from the devices was excessive. As a result, everything that was found on the cell phones was no longer valid in the process. The Public Prosecutor's Office can still request a new breach of confidentiality, now with shorter deadlines. ? Access the g1 RS channel on WhatsApp A report with more than 80 pages of the Military Brigade Internal Affairs investigation reconstructs step by step how the action was planned. The document, obtained exclusively by RBS TV, shows that the operation originated from information passed on by a prisoner detained in Guaíra, Paraná. According to the investigation, it was based on his report that police officers began to suspect the existence of stolen vehicles and armed men on a rural property in Pelotas. Messages exchanged between PMs In audios and messages attached to the investigation, a police officer from Paraná passes on the information received from the detainee to colleagues from Rio Grande do Sul. In one of the audios, the police officer says: "The prisoner here opened his mouth and said that there is another car stolen and there is a truck and the guys are there, heavily armed. He says that they are part of a gang, the Tauras, something like that." Then he adds: "It says it's at this farm there. It says there are stolen trucks there, that there are more stolen cars and that the guys are armed. If you go there now, the guys will be armed there. So you can suddenly set up a small operation there." The police officer also describes the location indicated by the prisoner. In response, a soldier from Rio Grande do Sul states: "I'm going to gather the vehicles here and I'm going there." The proposed operation met with resistance within the battalion itself. According to the report, a lieutenant spoke out against the action. Later, a captain also denied authorization. Then a major did the same. Even so, the case reached the lieutenant colonel responsible for the Pelotas battalion. The investigation indicates that the commander authorized the action and requested reinforcement from other Military Brigade teams. In testimony, the lieutenant colonel stated that he only authorized reconnaissance of the location, and not a police operation. PM investigation The investigation concluded that there was no military crime on the part of the police officers involved. Even so, the person responsible for the investigation criticized the commander's decision and stated that he "ran over the barrier of prudence established by the entire chain of junior officers. He disregarded the safest and legal tactical alternative and had operational audacity that led the entire troop into error." The report also points out flaws in the conduct of the lieutenant responsible for immediate command of the troops who went to the scene. According to the investigation, he was fully aware that the garrisons would advance on private property, during night rest and based on intelligence information considered precarious. Those responsible for the investigation also criticized the intelligence work that led to the operation. The conclusion was that there was “unacceptable technical precariousness” in the analysis of data coming from Paraná. In April, the Public Ministry disagreed with the outcome of the military investigation and requested new investigations, especially against the officers, on suspicion of abuse of authority against Marcos' wife, Raquel Nörnberg. In May, the cell phones of 18 police officers were seized, including those of the officers. Now, this evidence has been annulled by unanimous decision of the Military Court. Investigation by the Civil Police The investigation by the Civil Police, which is investigating the circumstances of Marcos Nörnberg's death, has not yet been completed. Six months later, the delegate responsible for the case states that he is still awaiting reports requested from the General Institute of Expertise. Last week, Marcos' widow was in Brasília asking the federal government to monitor the case. Raquel Nörnberg stated: "It's a feeling of impunity. And I can tell you that it's as if, every day I wake up and I relive everything, because I expect a result, okay? So, it's difficult for us to stop and think that, firstly, that the people who were supposed to protect us were the ones who committed all the crimes against my family, and, secondly, it's that I can't get my life back. Because there needs to be an outcome." When contacted, the Military Brigade informed that the investigations are being carried out under judicial secrecy and that, therefore, it will not comment on other points of the case. The BM also informed that the additional measures requested by the MP are underway and within the established deadline.
