The defense is also awaiting the appreciation of the request for the revocation of Rodrigo's preventive arrest, confident that the Judiciary will carry out the proper evaluation of the facts and circumstances of the case. Out of respect for procedural secrecy and the regular progress of the criminal action, no further clarifications will be provided at this time."
