Carla Zambelli's security guard is arrested in the early hours of the morning after shooting in SP

A security guard who accompanied federal deputy Carla Zambelli, identified as Daniel, was arrested red-handed by the Civil Police in the early hours of this Sunday (30), on charges of firing a firearm. According to Estadão, he will undergo a custody hearing before the Court, which will decide whether to maintain his prison sentence. He was arrested after the deputy and the security guard were caught wielding a firearm against a black journalist near Avenida Paulista, in São Paulo.

The Civil Police investigate possible crimes of illegal possession of a weapon, threats, bodily harm and discharge of a firearm. According to the newspaper's report, in the latter case, the classification of the crime will depend on the analysis of the direction of the shot to find out whether a more serious crime – attempted murder – occurred. It will be the analysis of the video with the direction of the shot that will show the intention of the shooter.

Journalist Luan Araújo, who was persecuted by Zambelli, went to the 4th Police District (Consolação) to file a complaint against the deputy. Luan's lawyers allege that the parliamentarian committed the crimes of racism, firing a firearm and illegal possession of a weapon on the eve of the election.
