Fernando Sastre Filho, accused of the death of app driver Ornaldo Viana, whom he collided with on March 30 while driving a Porsche in the East Zone of São Paulo, is on the run. This Saturday, the 4th, police officers went to his house, but did not find him. The businessman had his preventive arrest ordered on Friday.
According to information from the Public Security Secretariat (SSP), agents from the 30th Police Station carried out investigations at the accused’s apartment, in Vila Regente Feijó, in São Paulo, to comply with the arrest warrant issued by the Court.
“After searching the residence, the suspect was not located. The efforts continue to seek his location and capture.”, adds the ministry, in a note.

Preventive detention
The court ordered the businessman’s preventive detention Fernando Sastre de Andrade Filho, this Friday, 3rd, following an appeal from the São Paulo Public Ministry (MPSP). Previously, three arrest requests against him had been denied in the first instance.
Judge João Augusto Garcia is the one who signs the decision. According to him, preventive detention aims to “protect public order, given the risk of reiterating conduct, and guarantee regular criminal investigation.”
In his decision, the judge also cited the other accidents in which Andrade Filho was involved and the record of his participation in a race on Avenida Paulista.

“In effect, the connection with similar acts, in the presence of indications that, even when urged by people not to drive, due to their condition (also indicated by the gas station attendant Reinaldo, who saw the defendant staggering away), make one believe in the possibility of reiterating non-compliance of norms, and the judiciary must be attentive to the protection of public order, with collective interests prevailing at this moment, to the detriment of the individual”, he wrote.
Garcia also stated that there are precedents for preventive arrests in cases of splits, with consequences lower than those in the case involving the businessman, in which there was a fatal victim and a person seriously injured.
When deciding on preventive detention, which is ordered to occur immediately, the São Paulo Court of Justice revokes the precautionary measures to which Fernando Sastre was bound. The decision, however, only maintains the R$500,000 bail that was already charged to the businessman.
