Judge Authorizes Data Extraction From Cellphone Found in Jairinho’s Cell

Overview

• Prison intelligence from SEPPEN’s Corregedoria prompted a search that turned up a concealed cellphone among books in Jairinho’s cell.
• Judge Elizabeth Machado Louro granted prosecutor Fábio Vieira dos Santos’s request to break the phone’s data secrecy and ordered the Ministério Público’s cyber‑intelligence division to extract its contents.
• SEPPEN has placed Jairinho in isolation and opened a disciplinary investigation into the prisoner and unit staff while the occurrence was registered at the 34ª DP in Bangu.
• Jairinho’s defense says it has not yet been formally notified and will respond after intimation, and Leniel Borel has publicly demanded a full probe into who supplied the phone and how it was used.
• Jairinho is serving a 43‑year sentence for homicide and torture, and forensic extraction of messages, contacts and metadata could show attempts at witness tampering or reveal connections relevant to other ongoing investigations.
