Medium João de Deus, accused of sexual abuse, surrenders to the police in Goiás | Goiás

João de Deus is suspected of badual abuse and his arrest was pronounced by the Ministry of Justice on Friday afternoon at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP-GO) and the Goiás Civil Police, who considered him a fugitive.

More than 300 women claim to have been victims of religious. The defense denies. The arrest is preventive – that is to say without delay – and was decreed by judge Fernando Augusto Chacha de Rezende, who reacts under the Abadian flag during the holder's holidays.

The civilian police stated that João de Deus spontaneously introduced himself to the delegate general and the head of the state's Criminal Investigation Bureau (Deic). He was accompanied by lawyers and no decision has yet been taken as to his whereabouts. Police also reported that no handcuffs had been used during the operation.

Until Saturday, the police searched more than 30 addresses in search of support, without success, according to the delegate general of Goiás, André Fernandes. He said John would have until noon to deliver on Saturday.

Dissimulation of the patrimony

of God may have tried to hide the heritage and that this has prompted the body to speed up the arrest request of the religious leader.

According to the "O Globo" newspaper, investigations indicate that the religious leader has withdrawn $ 35 million of accounts and financial applications since the first allegations of abuse were reported.

"We already have information that there are provisions of the investigation that seek to conceal fairness.This fact is being evaluated and MP-GO is taking all appropriate measures," said the promoter. Gabriella de Queiroz Clementino.

Alberto Toron, the lawyer of João de Deus, told G1 that he was unaware of his withdrawal from prison.

"Of course, this news of dissimulation and heritage reinforces even more the foundations of the prison." "I do not have any information about it, I have never asked and I have never been informed," he said.

On Wednesday morning, the medium went to Casa Dom Inácio de Loyola, where he carried out the spiritual works, for the first time since the denunciation. During the few minutes that he remained in place, he declared that he was innocent and that he trusted the righteousness of God and men.

"My dear brothers and sisters, I thank God for being here, I am always a brother of God, but I want to comply with Brazilian law because I am in the Brazilian law." Jean de Dieu is still alive, may the peace of God be with you, "says John of God.

Religious press secretary Edna Gomes said after the statements that the media was innocent, but that the charges were serious and should be acquitted.

The newspaper "O Globo", TV Globo and G1 published in recent days reports of dozens of women victims of badual abuse by the media. It is not a question of questioning the healing methods of John of God or the faith of thousands of people who seek him.

The João de Deus Investigations Investigation Working Group opened the investigation on Monday after the Conversa com Bial program revealed the report of 10 women who reported having been badually badaulted by the media.

The Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Goiás (MP-GO), which, like the civilian police, investigates suspicions of badual crimes committed during religious treatment, had represented more than 200 denunciations against the medium.

To take care of women who do not live in Goiás, MP-GO has set up a videoconferencing room. There are five promoters from Goiás who participate in the working group, two psychologists and two foreign language translators.

"We have cases outside Brazil, so we need a follow-up to help people clarify all these situations," said Attorney General Benedito Torres's office.
