Court orders preventive detention of Thiago Brennand for assault

The judge of the 6th Criminal Court of São Paulo, Erika Soares de Azevedo Mascarenhas, ordered the preventive detention of businessman Thiago Antonio Brennand Tavares da Sila Fernandes Vieira. By last Friday (23) he should have handed over his passport to the court and confirmed his return to Brazil. He traveled to Dubai on the 4th and his whereabouts, until then, are unknown.

According to Mascarenhas' decision of the 9th, if the businessman failed to comply with any of the precautionary measures provided for - which involve, in addition to returning to Brazil, approaching the victims and attending any gyms throughout the national territory - he could have his preventive detention ordered.

Brennand was caught on security cameras attacking model Helena Gomes inside a gym in a shopping mall in São Paulo. The case was revealed by Fantástico, on TV Globo and, since then, several other victims they felt encouraged to denounce the businessman.

To date, ten women have already reported him by the crimes of rape, threat, bodily harm and false imprisonment. They began to be heard by the Public Ministry of São Paulo this Monday (26). In addition to cases of gender violence, Brennand is accused of attacking a waiter at a restaurant within the Porto Feliz condominium (about 35km from Sorocaba, in the interior of São Paulo).
