An on-duty criminal investigating judge on Friday ordered the detainee’s release because a strike by court officials prevented the conditions for a first judicial interrogation.
The defendant was released only with the establishment of a period for establishing his identity and place of residence. José Miguel Araujo has no criminal record and is the prime suspect in starting at least 20 fires that destroyed 120 hectares of forest between April and August 28 this year in the area between Ponte da Barca and Lindoso.
