According to the MP, there are not enough elements for a complaint to be filed against those involved. As a result of the closing, the precautionary measures that fall on Gusttavo Lima and the names linked to he betting house, José André da Rocha Neto, Aislla Sabrina, Thiago Lima Rocha and Rayssa Rocha, were lifted. Those mentioned will also have their seized assets returned by the Civil Police of Pernambuco.
In her decision this Thursday, the judge emphasizes that the possibility of reopening the investigation remains if new evidence emerges.
The country singer was indicted by the Civil Police of Pernambuco and had his preventive detention ordered, a measure later reversed by the courts. Financial transactions and the sale of aircraft were identified by investigators as links between Gusttavo Lima and the others involved in the alleged money laundering scheme.
"We have always trusted the justice system and since the beginning of the operation we have never had any doubts about what the outcome of the investigation would be. I thank the authorities for the lucidity and speed with which they handled our case. May we now be able to move on with our lives and carry out our professional activities in the most correct way possible, as we have always wanted to do," said José André da Rocha Neto, CEO of Vai de Bet, in a statement.
Disagreements between Judge Andréa da Cruz and the Public Prosecutor's Office marked the progress of the process and took the case to the Attorney General's Office of Pernambuco, which reaffirmed its understanding that the investigation should be shelved. In a decision in December, the judge criticized the delay in the Public Prosecutor's Office taking a position, whether to request the shelving, to file the complaint or to request new investigations.
"In a democratic state governed by the rule of law, inertia cannot be tolerated, under penalty of compromising the legitimacy of the process and the credibility of the institutions responsible for enforcing justice," she wrote.
The judge also referred to the Special Task Force for Combating Organized Crime (Gaeco), of the Public Prosecutor's Office, as "inactive" and "silent", in a behavior marked by a "lack of procedural momentum". Because of this, she ordered the case to be sent to the Attorney General's Office.
