Businessman who shot wounded and already surrendered suspect is part of the CACs group, which benefits from Bolsonaro's decrees on weapons.
Benefiting from decrees that loosened restrictions on access to firearms, João Henrique Marfim Stakoviak faces charges for threats and is subject to a protective order.
247 - Businessman João Henrique Marfim Stakoviak, arrested on Friday (26) for attempted homicide and illegal possession of a firearm for shooting a suspect who had already been subdued by a police officer in the south of São Paulo, is part of the so-called CACs group (collectors, sports shooters and hunters), one of the support bases of Bolsonarism and which benefited from the loosening of restrictions on access to firearms by civilians by the Jair Bolsonaro government (PL). Both Stakoviak and the suspect, identified as Sidney Fernandes, have criminal records and are in prison.
According to the UOLStakoviak was refueling his Porsche when he was approached by the suspect who tried to steal his watch, valued at R$40, with a simulated firearm. After fleeing the scene, Fernandes was apprehended by a police officer who had shot him in the leg during the escape. While subdued, the suspect was shot with a 9mm pistol by the businessman. Stakoviak also kicked Fernandes in the head after he was shot.
As a registered firearms owner, Stakoviak has a license to own a firearm, but he is not authorized to carry the weapon. According to the report, the Civil Police investigation highlights that the businessman "was indicted for illegal possession of a restricted firearm because he used the weapon to take justice into his own hands, without demonstrating at any time that he was going to a shooting club," as he claimed.
According to the report, João Henrique Marfim Stakoviak is facing two lawsuits for threats, one from June 2015 and another from June 2022, in addition to being the subject of an investigation registered in the 2nd Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women, with a protective order issued in December 2021.
Sidney Fernandes has a history of prison sentences for robbery in 2005 and 2007, in addition to a restraining order dating from 2015. He had served all previous sentences.
