Family of Odair Moniz appeals and requests effective sentence

Observador28 August 2026 at 00:10

Odair Moniz's family has appealed the previous sentence and asked the court to impose an effective sentence on the responsible police officer. The family members believe that the facts proven in the case justify an increase in the sentence initially applied.

In addition to the request to increase the sentence, the family is also seeking compensation greater than what was set by the court. This demand for higher compensation arises following the initial decision that was considered insufficient by the legal representatives of the Moniz family.

The appeal comes at a time when the case continues to generate controversy, with the family insisting that the sentence imposed does not correspond to the severity of the facts that were proven during the trial.
