The document must serve as the basis for future decisions on the maintenance, return or other destination of the herd. The Court also determined that animals should not be slaughtered, except in duly authorized situations. Another point awaiting analysis is the refund request presented by businessman Wellington Vieira de Araújo, owner of the llamas. The request seeks the return of the animals and has not yet had a definitive decision. Truck is handed over to investigation This Monday (8), following a decision by the Federal Court, the truck used to transport the animals was handed over to one of the men arrested in the seizure as trustee. According to the decision, the Federal Police reported that it did not have an adequate structure to store a vehicle of that size and warned of the risk of deterioration caused by exposure to the weather. When authorizing the measure, the judge highlighted that the appointment as trustee does not represent the definitive return of the truck nor the end of the seizure. The vehicle remains linked to the criminal case and must be presented whenever there is a court order or request from the police authority. The decision also establishes that failure to comply with custody and conservation obligations may result in the revocation of the measure, in addition to the immediate seizure of the vehicle and possible liability of the depositary.

The other part was in the cargo that was legalized in September. According to him, the cargo seized at the Acre checkpoint actually left Rondônia for Brasiléia, in the interior of Acre, because a customer showed interest in buying the animals, as Wellington said he was trying to get a spot at the 13th Rondônia Rural International Show to exhibit them. "People said they wouldn't get a place for me [at the agricultural fair]. I sent the animals to Acre, because there was demand, there were customers waiting to see them. They made room for me at the Rondônia Rural Show and I asked to return with them to the fair", he highlighted. VIDEOS: g1
