• A federal appeals court (TRF-3) granted a habeas corpus that freed him under precautionary rules, including travel limits and a ban on leaving Brazil without approval.
• Federal Police say he led a network that washed betting and raffle income tied to drug trafficking, with flows reported at about R$ 1.6 billion over two years.
