The 41-year-old businessman, suspected of cutting the rope of a worker who was cleaning the facade of the building, also allegedly threatened other employees working there and tried to hide from the police. According to the Police Report, other witnesses suffered threats if they did not stop carrying out the cleaning work, in the condominium located in the Água Verde neighborhood, in Curitiba.
After the threats, the businessman took a knife and cut the rope from one of the workers. Due to a safety device, the victim did not fall from a height of approximately 20 meters.
Shortly after the incident, the workers called the police and informed them that the suspect was the resident of the penthouse, on the 27th floor. At the scene, the agents found a domestic worker, who at first denied that the businessman was in the property. However, the suspect was found hiding in a bedroom, after police broke down a door.
The knife used in the act was found on the property’s balcony. Both the businessman and the employee were taken to the police station.
