The sentence of Judge Marcos Boechat Lopes Filho provides for compensation for moral damages to victims in amounts of up to R$ 100,000.
In total, the medium was denounced in relation to crimes committed against 66 victims and convicted in relation to 56 of them. The extinction of punishability for decay or prescription in relation to 120 victims was recognized.
