What is an emergency protective measure?
Urgent protective measures are judicial determinations aimed at protecting people at risk, especially in cases of domestic and family violence.
Among the restrictions that can be established by the courts are the prohibition of approaching the victim, the suspension of contact by phone or messages and the determination of removal of the aggressor from the environment of coexistence.
Failure to comply with a protective measure granted on the basis of the Maria da Penha Law constitutes a crime provided for in Brazilian legislation, and may result in imprisonment and other judicial consequences.
In the case registered here in Ponta Grossa, the Municipal Civil Guard reported that the arrest occurred after the location of the suspect and the identification of indications of non-compliance with the court order.
The incident was referred to the Civil Police for legal proceedings. No other circumstances of the investigation or the subsequent situation of the detained man were reported.
