The article is from the G1 portal. He points out that "he took the security guard course in May 2017 and was hired in December of the same year. The conviction for the assault came days after his hiring." According to the Federal Police, Davi's documentation was to be reviewed during a retraining course scheduled for May 2019. The Federal Police stated that it has no way of knowing if any security guard was convicted in that interval. The lawyer for the security company Groupe Protection says that checking criminal records is the responsibility of the Federal Police. "The legal authority to regulate the entire training process, subsequently maintain the retraining of these individuals, and monitor whether they are qualified or not, competent or not, rests with the Federal Police," said André França.

The report also states: "França further says that Davi remains with the company, but has been suspended while the investigation determines what happened." Davi was released after paying bail of R$10 and will face charges of manslaughter, which is homicide without intent to kill. The police have 30 days to conclude the investigation.
