São Paulo's Public Ministry requested that Lt. Col. Geraldo Leite Rosa Neto, charged with feminicide and procedural fraud in his wife Gisele Alves Santana's death, pay R$ 100k indemnity to her family. The 32-year-old soldier was found shot in the head in February in a Brás apartment, with the case shifting from suicide to homicide after forensics.
Lt. Col. of the Military Police Geraldo Leite Rosa Neto, 53, became a defendant on Wednesday (March 18) for feminicide and procedural fraud in the death of his wife, soldier Gisele Alves Santana, 32. The São Paulo Public Ministry's (MPSP) indictment was accepted by the 5th Jury Court of the Capital and the Military Court of Justice, reiterating his preventive arrest. In the same process, MPSP requested a minimum R$ 100,000 indemnity to Gisele's family, payable upon conviction for sordid motive and use of means hindering victim defense, per the Prosecution. Gisele was found gravely wounded with a headshot on February 18 in the couple's Brás apartment, central São Paulo region. Rescued by Águia helicopter to Clinics Hospital, she died hours later from cranioencephalic trauma. Initially ruled suicide, it shifted to suspicious death after forensic reports deeming self-inflicted shot impossible: body position, blood spatter 1.5m away, traces in bathroom and on colonel's clothes, body moved. Neighbors heard shot at 7:28am, rescue call at 7:57am. His phone messages show controlling behavior, with terms like 'macho alfa provider', 'obedient submissive woman', and financial complaints. Defense, by Eugênio Malavasi, claims suicide, illegal arrest by Military Justice, and undue private life exposure, appealing to STJ. Gisele left a 7-year-old daughter from another relationship.
