The Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice (TJRJ) unanimously granted habeas corpus to the rapper Oruam (Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno), permitting him to respond to criminal proceedings while free. This ruling revokes his fugitive status, which had been in effect since February 2026 due to non-compliance with electronic monitoring. Oruam is a defendant in an investigation concerning organized crime and money laundering allegedly connected to the Comando Vermelho (CV) faction. Prosecutors claim a structured financial scheme involving a family nucleus—including Oruam, his brother Lucas Nepomuceno, his mother Márcia Nepomuceno, and his father Márcio Santos Nepomuceno (known as Marcinho VP)—was used to launder funds through real estate, farms, and various companies. The court's decision cited Oruam’s fixed residence, his prior record, and the fact that he is not identified as a leader of the criminal organization. While the habeas corpus allows him to remain free, the underlying criminal investigations continue. Oruam remains subject to precautionary measures, including monthly court appearances and restrictions on leaving the state of Rio de Janeiro for more than 30 days. Following the ruling, Oruam drew controversy during a live TikTok broadcast where he was observed removing his electronic ankle bracelet with a screwdriver.

Following this, his fiancée, Fernanda Valença, addressed his recent absence from social media, describing the court's decision. artist as undergoing a “delicate moment of restarting” after his release and denying rumors of an engagement breakup.
