There was no protective measure, there was no incident, she did not report any type of violence or threat. In fact, he said that he had nothing in relation to his ex-partner.

The teenager was passionate about Gaucho culture and was part of a traditionalist dance group. Wagno was preventively arrested on Tuesday night (18) in his own home, located in the Jardim do Trabalhador neighborhood. Until the last update of this report, g1 had not located Wagno's defense.
