In Maceió, Alagoas, José Tavares Malta Neto was sentenced to 8 years and 11 months in prison following a jury trial. The conviction stems from a 2016 incident at Lagoa Mundaú where Malta Neto, operating a jet ski, struck a canoe. The collision caused severe injuries to Osmar de Araújo Oliveira, who died from complications 16 days later. During the trial, it was noted that the defendant fled the scene after the collision.
