The Judicial Court of the District of Madeira decided to extinguish the coercive measures involving government officials and the mayor of Calheta, in the Ab Initio investigation triggered last September, which led to the arrest of eight people, who would later be released after the first judicial interrogation.
The newspaper found that the coercive measures applied to the defendants Humberto Drumond and André Nóbrega, as well as to the defendants Humberto Vasconcelos, Carlos Teles, Daniela Rodrigues, Cecília Aguiar, and Paulo Santos, were declared extinguished, since no charges were brought within the legal deadline for this purpose.
The only coercive measure that remains in force is that relating to the defendant Bruno Freitas, who is still prevented from exercising the functions of President of the Board of Directors of IASaúde.
