Former coach accused Boulos of being a cocaine user; candidate may face charges of forgery of a private document and crimes against honor
The expertise of the São Paulo Civil Police concluded that the prescription doctor, published by the candidate for Mayor of São Paulo Pablo Marcal (PRTB), which would show that Guilherme Boulos (Psol) would be a cocaine user, it’s false. The São Paulo Institute of Criminalistics issued the opinion on Saturday night (October 5, 2024).
The Scientific Police analyzed the supposed signature of doctor José Roberto de Souza, which appears in the document published by the former coach on Friday night (Oct 4), and said that it does not correspond to the now deceased doctor.
Earlier, the delegate in charge of the case, William Wong, had conditioned the opening of an investigation against Marçal on the opinion of the expert. Now, the candidate can respond to forgery of a private document. In addition to crimes against honor that targeted the psolist candidate.
Wong told journalists that there is no “rush” in hearing the people involved in the case, as there would be no risk of losing evidence and due to the “delicate” moment seen in the election – which takes place this Sunday (Oct 6).
“Nothing will be done tomorrow. Tomorrow is election day. What had to be done by the Civil Police, a priori, is just to make this record because the facts have already been narrated. There is no need to rush anything that is achieved, we will not run the risk of losing evidence if we carry out the task today, tomorrow or the day after. We are in a delicate moment on the eve of an election, let’s wait first for the investigation to unfold“, he said.
Boulos’ defense registered a police report against Marçal this Saturday (October 5, 2024). The content was taken down by court order. The profile was also suspended.
Here is the full statement from the Public Security Secretariat:
“The Institute of Criminalistics (IC) finalized the expert report and concluded that the document published on social media by one of the candidates for Mayor of São Paulo is false. The expert report was forwarded to the police authority, which opened an investigation to determine all the circumstances relating to the facts.”
