In the decision requesting action, the Public Prosecutor's Office states that there are sufficient elements to justify the opening of a formal investigation, given the possible practice of abuse of authority, military criminal offenses and disciplinary infractions. The MP also asked for the identification of all the police officers involved, including a sergeant mentioned in the complaint. The investigation must clarify the entry into the property, the use of handcuffs, the woman's conduction to the vehicle, the seizure of the speaker and the reported attacks. The case was also forwarded to the General Inspectorate of the Amazonas Public Security System. The MP asked for the preservation of all audiovisual evidence, such as images from body cameras, the vehicle and the video recovered by the family.
