PRF Internal Affairs had recommended dismissal. The agency sent the request to the Ministry of Justice in October 2023
The agent celebrated the decision and said he was innocent. “Justice partially done, but done. Despite the suspension and knowing that I am completely innocent. I will soon be back in the role I love most,” Ronaldo wrote online. The police officer also stated that he spent sleepless nights and needed prescription medication, “even though I knew he wasn’t to blame for anything.”
In a note sent to UOL, the agent’s defense also celebrated the decision. “We remain firm that we defend a good police officer who will continue to serve the institution and the population with honor and dignity”, says the note signed by lawyer Mariana Fernandes Lixa.
Remember the case
Ronaldo appeared in a video describing torture methods for students at a cram school. In the images, the agent tells how he placed a prisoner in a vehicle and left him “calm” with a burst of pepper spray, then closing the compartment.
At the time of the video, the police officer was working on a preparatory course for police career candidates.. In 2016, he worked for Alfacon Concursos, a company in Cascavel (PR) that prepares candidates for vacancies in the police forces. In 2018, after leaving Alfacon, Bandeira opened his own company, which offers online courses.
